And the works of Niven and Pournelle describe what it will be like.

The only way to cram 60 million people into the areas of CA where
people actually want to live (i.e. near the coast where the climate is
good) is to build ultra-high-density housing and tow icebergs from the
North Atlantic into Long Beach Harbor so we can melt them down for
drinking water.

Maybe "Oath of Fealty" paints a more accurate picture of our future
than anyone yet realizes?
