The Thirst

Throughout history, when people found themselves in a climate that couldn't support the population, they die out or vacate for more life-friendly regions. One would think the easy answer would be to encourage the people to move to the water, not vice versa. But no, we actually have to worry about people being so environmentally infantile that they might lobby to siphon significant quantities of the Great Lakes to desert areas.

Move to the Great Lakes? Heavens no. It snows up there! Bring the water to me, that I might enjoy this inhospitable desert weather a while longer.
