Ah. Miscommunication. It sounded like war was only an option now and historical civilizations all grew beyond its bounds before collapsing. Not all did. Some were conquered before then. Nitpick over. ;)
Yeah. I’ve made my peace with that. (Nitpick: some historical civilizations were conquered.)
I’ve adopted an extremely fatalistic position that for me loops back to optimism: if we are that terminally destructive we will destroy ourselves. And once we do that the planet can move on.
The federal government has almost no regulations against groundwater pumping, and individual states have weak, variable rules from region to region, per the Times. Arizona is no exception. For most of its history, groundwater has been unregulated in much of the state, operating on a first come first serve basis, according to the National Audubon Society. This means no limit on how much groundwater can be used, and people can simply drain the groundwater until it runs out, Cook said. Also, it’s rare to find studies of groundwater on a national scale. Most of the time research focuses on a single source or region.

I have a friend in Udaipur where the Indians created several water collecting basins in like medieval times to combat freshwater shortage. Even if we assumed climate change wasn’t solvable (it obviously is) this particular effect could be mitigated.
And by then everyone else probably uses a different type of train magnetic super speed something and the Germans will still not have entirely figured out how electric power and rail work together.

Just worship cats.
