[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The future is in the South. That's where the US is growing in population and power is shifting from the NY to the southern states. In a generation Rice and other universities in the south like Duke and Vanderbilt will completely overshadow Cornell. [/quote]

Climate change will force the shift back in the other direction. In a generation, cities like Miami and New Orleans will be under water. Hurricanes will have become more frequent and more intense and will be taking their toll on stares in the Southeast and Gulf Coast. The combination of hear and drought will strain the resources of states in the Sun Belt.

Trends don’t continue in the same direction forever. Changing conditions can and will diminish trends and in some cases reverse them. The next pipe line will not be bringing gas and oil down from Alaska & Canada, it will be bringing water because if the tremendous water reserves in Canada. With the Colorado River and it’s reservoirs drying up, life will become unsustainable in places like Arizona without such a pipe line.[/quote]
