All I can think of while seeing “Oklahoma city” is “oh… Shit…”
So much stuff is going to die around here simply because it can’t live in Oklahoma’s climate.
Certain trees have started dying en-masse around me because they were already at their upper tolerance for temperatures and water.
I haven’t yet looked at the map (I will!), but I’m struck by the idea that perhaps a map should exist that shows how USDA hardiness zones will shift. (I mean - according to best guesses.)
If I had the ability, it would be interesting to make a map that asks users what their favorite local tree or animal is, and tells them how long it will be able to survive near them. Nearly impossible to account for all use cases, but I digress. Even simpler - Go for a map of state trees, flowers, and animals with extinction times for each to let folks know how long each state can hold onto its signature species. Well, for the ones that aren’t already gone, anyway.
