The Southern California desert is a national sacrifice area. For most of the year, families from the coastal counties drive their RVs on Interstate 8, trailers loaded with ATVs attached, to public lands in the desert to recreate on other vehicles. It's as though they are trying to burn all of the fossil fuels of the planet before they die. Even after all of the attention to the crisis, they don't care that they are driving the planet to desertification everywhere.
