Most of the Prairies, particularly southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, is normally a desert, outside of periods of abnormally high precipitation like we've had for most of the last 70 years. Once the summer runoff stops coming from the Rockies, it's going to get very ugly on the Prairies, including for water-intensive oil sands extraction and processing.

Though the main reason we've been having bad forest fires in BC the last few years is due to the enormous pine beetle infestations engendered by global warming, another reason is the increasing summer droughts thoughout much of the interior of BC.
