Parts of Texas are searing with temps above 110°F; Abilene hit 113°F yesterday. Demand for electricity is at record levels--driving up utility bills. This will push climate migration north.
What will also contribute to climate migration north is the unraveling of support staff, or workers, that make every day life possible. High temperatures make working outside during the summer nearly impossible.
Heat wave casualties are increasingly showing up in Texas and other locales. A UPS driver in north Texas passed out because of heat a few days ago and crashed his truck. Nearly 40 deaths in Dallas County this summer are being investigated as heat-related, according to the medical examiner. Climate change is increasingly putting a hurt on Americas south.
