Cactus done in by the heat.

Breaking news: Its really hot on the desert.
The only constant in the environmental history of earth is change. Glaciers, ice ages, the extinction of species, and the creation of new species. Ask one of these yahoos what changes would they accept as natural and which ones should concern us. They don’t have an answer.
They are trying to scare the sheep.
After the UN Chief Jackass declared the oceans are "boiling," we went for a walk on the nearby island's beach. Lovely. Unlike the Chief Jackass.
All these hysterical articles never add the final point to the argument -- send your money to us, and we will "save" you.
I saw more Saguaros toppled last year than this summer, so far. There were many more storms in June and July last year, so it isn't really because of Evil Human Climate Change, as this article tries to imply..
More global warming propaganda. It goes on and on and on. Dr Goebbels would be proud of you.
Saguaro cacti are long-lived but not immortal. You’ll find dead ones all over the Sonoran Desert, because they take a long time to decay in this climate. There are also healthy saguaros of all sizes everywhere you look, even in this terrible, unprecedented heatwave (also known as a normal Arizona summer).
“cactuses”?
Last two weeks of June and first three weeks of July 2005 were hot.
These drama queen cactuses need to man up and get with the program!
The pasty faced yobs of the Mail didn’t say anything when Arizona had a cool spring/early summer this year like the rest of the West.
And PHX being over 110 for weeks is one of the main reasons I left that state even though I was born and raised in it. Seen lots summers just like this one.
The implication is that it’s due to “climate change” but I don’t recall them being hysterical about the heavy snow up on the Mogollon just a coupla months ago. Was that “climate change”?
Get’s really hot in “the valley of the sun”. Sometimes sticks around a bit longer. Usually cools down from heat provoked monsoon rain - like last year when that was really heavy. Just whut it’s like in the desert.

As long as the Weber Blue Agave* isn’t keeling over, we should all be fine.
*Tequila! :)
Ok but it was 45 years ago that I first discussed with a guy from Phoenix, that in Summer Phoenix is 120 degrees in the shade.
They say it’s a dry heat but he said believe me when it’s 120 it’s hot.
I hiked in Saguaro National Park a couple days ago. Didn’t see any issues. I have 5 on my property. No issues. But that’s Pima County (Tucson area).
Do you mean we have to adapt to those hotter than usual summer days? Oh no...
I live in the 40% of Arizona that doesn’t have cactus.
