    Arizona is going to become uninhabitable in our lifetimes

      No, just Phoenix and Tucson. The Arizona high country to the north has much lower temps than those main cities.

      So first, Phoenix and Tucson will invade the Verde valley and Sedona, then move on to Flagstaff. Then they’ll move out of state.

        Once the water runs out, the temperatures don’t matter. Basically the entire population of the state depends on either Lake Mead or wells, and neither of those is going to outlast my lifetime

          Arizona uses ~3.5 million Olympic sized swimming pools of water a year, mostly for farming silly crops

          The future earth is hot and wet, on average

        Parable of the Sower style herds of people walking up the freeways to the north, where they’re met with guns but those who don’t want to share their already limited resources, all while being assaulted, robbed, and murdered along the way

      There’s a lot of retirees in Arizona

      edit: Though if I’d read the article:

      Unhoused people account for 40% of deaths, while substance misuse contributed to two-thirds.

      Leading Causes of Death in AZ in 2024…

      We continued to have far more heat related deaths than we had just a few years ago – had another dramatic jump in heat-related deaths in 2023 – moving that cause of death up to number 12 (742 deaths in 2024).
