The climate zone is moving north. Rapidly. In as little as 10 years, there may be no crops south of Colorado.

The Dust Bowl of the 1930's only took two years to get from, "Hey... this drought sucks" to a quarter million people being driven out or killed by black sand accumulation.

And that was a localized drought. Not a global change in climate temperatures spanning the Equator, and hundreds of millions of people who are not in a really robust financial or food-safety position right now.

As those temperate zones move away from the Equator, people living in equatorial climates will have to leave. For food. For work. And, eventually, for water. Where do you think they will go?
