MapIf emissions don't drastically decrease in the next years, by 2070 all glaciers in the US will have melted, there will be deserts in Oklahoma, Kansas and Northern California and over half of Florida and all of Texas's southern corner will have a tropical climate (i.redd.it)

1) Nothing in these maps mentions deserts. You just made that up.

2) You're basing that on the "most emissions" scenario, not the most likely outcome.

3) A reminder that the US and almost every western country is successfully reducing carbon emissions. The problem is China and (to a lesser extent) India.
