True for those places, but in general the weather patterns will not be consistent for any state or country so it will be hard to decide what should be grown there. And the overpopulation is another reason farmers can't use water to irrigate, and of course that's the real cause of climate change, just too many people on this planet.

The "take this pill and forget about it" mentality is killing us from all sides. Thoughtful, long-term, ethical, careful action is the only thing that MIGHT save us.

All great except for the comments about climate change. The problems we're having in California, Australia, and the like have little to do anything changing. These are areas that have always had drought problems. The only difference now is that we have global communication to let us know about it instantly.
