The United States balkanizes over desperate drought-mitigation measures as climate change really kicks into high gear. Western states start screaming about building bulk water pipelines from the Great Lakes, the states on the Great Lakes just give a collective "Fuck that shit!", and politics instantly realigns into "states who still have good water sources" versus "every other state", with the legislative agenda dominated by arguments over the federal government's jurisdiction over interstate water redistribution in an emergency situation.
