Political future of Alaska and Kansas?

[Cassandra]

Interesting selections. These states are on the front lines of climate change; Alaska with the extreme polar heat and declining sea ice, Kansas with its prairies soon to turn to desert as the plains dry out. As climate change batters the extractive and agricultural industries these states rely on, their populations will dwindle. Perhaps what communities remain behind will fall prey to the politics of white identity. Or maybe these depopulated areas will swing left as the ecological realities break through into the political consciousness.
