As thermometer gets set to climb, climate experts worry
East Valley Tribune (Tempe) ^ | May 7, 2018 | by Katriona Martin

As temperatures in the East Valley were predicted to hit over 100 the early part of next week, some climate researchers predict Arizona could be unlivable by 2050.

Not all climate forecasts are so dire, but experts say Arizonans need to prepare for extreme heat and related events. The problem is not centuries in the future, they say; it’s immediate.

The state’s average temperature is projected to increase by more than 10 degrees by 2090, according to States at Risk, a project through Climate Central, a nonprofit news organization aimed at showing Americans the impacts of climate change.

This means that heat waves could become more common, which will particularly affect Arizonans unable to shelter from the heat. This includes more than 200,000 people living in poverty, ages 5 and younger or 65 and older, who are especially vulnerable to the heat.

Minorities, women and children hit hardest.

All that asphalt and concrete couldn’t be contributing at all as heat sinks.

If these predictions, published by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and a variety of sources, come true, the health of Arizonans could quickly be at risk, according to the Centers for Disease Control’s Climate and Health Program website.

And when these predictions turn out to be nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to EXTORT MONEY from the Taxpayers, they should all be Tried, Convicted and HANGED IN PUBLIC!!!

Sounds like some cave asshole ancestor of modern day democrats at the tail end of the last ice age.

Obviously, they didn’t survey this winter and spring in the midwest.

I lived in Arizona years ago. It was unlivable then!! 115 degrees often in Phoenix. This “man man” climate change is a hoax to take your wealth and property.

As summer approaches, you can hear the familiar screech of global warming alarmists.

Always best to make predictions for >30 yr in the future.

Typically after one would retire.

No accountability.

“Arizonans need to prepare for extreme heat”

Simple. Move back where you came from where it isn’t so hot. Pretend we are in the pre-AC and pre-irrigation project days. Problem solved.
