Climate change is all about where is the water going to collect and in what quantities. Government inactivity would suggest that unique geologic formations is the best bet to locate for better living conditions when global change is on the way. Colorado is just such a place. Burns Canyon in Pagosa Springs Colorado offers canyon walls for shade and collection of water and altitude for cooling, essentially mother natures refuge.
Burns canyon runs east to west heading toward the San Juan river.Shaded 1000 foot canyon walls to the south, collect water, allowing growth of pines and grassy meadows.Climate change will make these geologic formations unique. Altitude (6700 ft)provides cooling but not so high so as to cause pulmonary edema. Thermodynamic gradients will restrict machine cooling to ever decreasing living areas. The infrastructure of cities will begin to fail. Unique spaces will provide better living conditions as climate change runs out of government control. No one can predict the exact future but no one can deny that change will happen.
Canyon living provides protection from the drying effects of the sun.Water collects in the canyon floor to form a seasonal stream. It's all about the water.
"Post truth"denial of climate change can not cloud perception of
how geologic formations can concentrate life giving water.Note how the basin (picture)has allowed tree growth in the basin floor and into the slope heading toward the San Juan river to the right of the picture.Mother nature will, in the coming years, provide where government can not.
