This article is not based on serious data. Companies do this kind of thing so they get lots of press and unearned publicity. Somebody just took the change from the last census and multiplied it to the end of the century. This isn't science, it's a bad Excel spreadsheet. Growth rates are not constant or predictable that way. In fact, Austin's growth rate currently is receding.

Eh average summer temps in Texas will be like 135 by then
Using this articles data extrapolation, average summer temps could be 210+.
We have 77 years to figure out how to fix 35.
And that would be cutting it close.
It could also be a ghost town by then. We might also have flying cars.
