Actually most people trained on the subject knew a pandemic was inevitable and going to spread globally incredibly quickly.
What you’re talking about though isn’t rooted in reality. You’re borderline in the realm of religion in thinking there’d be a strain of god fungus that magically knows how to control humans the second it can infect humans for the first time ever. That’s like the King James Fungus. It’s an idea but it’s not a very coherent one. | [

When society collapses and humanity is on the brink of extinction, I have a rock-solid plan to live for another ten years: I will move to Utah. That place is usually about ten years behind everywhere else. This only makes sense during a true catastrophe, since it’s only slightly more desirable to be in Utah than it is to be dead. | [

They did not! ("think" in the human sense of the word)
Fungal infections are way more likely to just kill us, I guess the very unlikely but possible risk taking stuff of that cat disease might be possible. But our brains are probably too complicated to make us do anything absurdly detailed. (Making the ant go to a high location to spread spores when it dies is already crazy impressive, but that might be the extent of what is likely) | [

Care to elaborate how anything I stated is incorrect?
The planet has been much warmer in the past, and millions of species, including fungi, have lived in much warmer conditions, for a very long time. In fact, fungi probably first appeared over one billion years ago, and have had ample time to evolve “heat resistance” that would be a danger to humans or other animals.
And you actually believe that fungal “heat resistance” is suddenly going to evolve with the purported gradual average increase of a couple degrees? When fungi exist and have existed in much warmer conditions since well before humans even existed?
And sorry, but my “science” education and experience most likely exceeds yours by decades | [

And also if you read the article:
Diserio, said one of his firm's strategies is to profit from water in part by making the farms it buys more efficient and then selling parts of its water rights to other farmers and cities
Buying land to sell the water rights independently of the land is the kind of thing that's the problem. Water rights tied to the land aren't the problem, and even land values being high based on their involved water rights isn't a problem, as that's the case all over the country. | [

Just to add though, part of the problem with the Colorado River Basin is HOW the water rights were divided up. Issues with how much the allocations were based off of, little consideration for how that has decreased over the years, a risk of losing out on allocations if you don't always need it all, our prior lack of understanding on how these rivers replenished groundwater reservoirs, and many more issues. Like much of america, still running off policies developed decades or centuries before, without much consideration for how much we have learned and circumstances have changed over those decades. | [

Yeah, it's definitely problems going way back. I can see how a hedge fund buying farm property, modernizing to use less water. then selling the excess right might look like an improvement. But it's basically asking the "invisible hand of the market" to solve the water shortage. I don't know anyone who expects that to work out well for anyone, except to boost the hedge fund's shareholder-profit. | [

As I commented to someone on a similar thread not too long ago, everyone in this country, or at least western states with water scarcity, should have to read the book “Cadillac Desert”. Lays out the history of water development in the region, and why things are the way they are now.
Basically, big infrastructure projects for water were federally funded at outrageously low rates to encourage development in the region, with essentially no plan for them to be repaid in any meaningful timespan. The water accrued by dams was estimated based on what turned out to be a particularly wet turn of the climate, and because the states borders were lazily laid out in a grid-like fashion (AZ, NM, CO, UT being squarish) instead of along more sensible lines surrounding watersheds, the water from said projects had to be divided amongst several states. But, given that said states had yet to be developed enough to use their shares, it set off a race as each one tried to overdevelop in an attempt to “claim” other states’ water rights. Ostensibly, they would give the rights back once the other states caught up in the development process and needed the water… but of course, by then they wouldn’t reasonably be able to do so and would get to keep the rights in perpetuity. Hence why places like AZ have so many fucking golf courses (a ridiculously water intensive feature) on the middle of a desert; it was a cheap and quick way to “claim” the water before other states could do so. Because apparently nobody could predict the water would run dry and the area would be overdeveloped. Fucking ridiculous. | [
