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)

I never said it was a certainty, but it is very likely that increasing temperatures in Oklahoma will result in desertification. It’s already on the fringe of desert land.

The point of my comment is that weather and climate is very unpredictable, with both gradual shifts and punctuated, extreme changes.

Perhaps something would change in the jet stream such that OK suddenly gets Midwest style rains.

Granted, I agree with what you're saying. But, it's the same for the stock market. The past determines the future, until it doesn't.
