A searing heat wave that continues to blister much of the US is so hot that even Arizona's iconic cactuses are dying off

Cactus done in by the heat.

There's probably a windmill farm or solar farm close by that's killing the cactus. I guess the big word for the media and politicians is Heatwave. I guess we never had heatwaves before this summer.

What about the 100 cacti behind it?

It's really hot in the New Jersey pine barrens too -
but the excessive heat still hasn't killed off all of the deer
that are eating my vegetable garden.

Dang beasts.

Don’t worry. They will all be back in 400-500 years.

Fer crying out loud! I did a lot of hiking in the Arizona desert in the 1970s and always saw dead saguaros laying everywhere. It’s just part of the desert.

Just be happy that it didn’t fall on YOU.

Seriously?

Saguaro falls down. Like that’s never happened before.

This is propaganda peddled to drugged out ignoroids.

Looks like it was rotting. It’s mature and probably was time for it to go heat or not.

I’d attribute it more to the depth of the water table. Saguros have deep roots.

Where I live, big ole pine trees are always falling over like that. Kind of like people. Nothing lives forever. God uses droughts to weed out the inferior.
