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.

I was in the energy research business for 25 years. My buddies and I were laughing at this crap back in 1980. We drew cartoons of coal fired power plants using giant Coca-Cola bottles as exhaust stacks — instant carbonation of the soda. I wish we had saved those; would have been classics. Here we are 38 years later and not one of the predictions has some true, so the enemy’s natural response is to ramp up the hysteria to 11.
Just ...just...JUST stop with being objective!This is a sensitive issue that needs finessing. I mean millions of climate changers will have NO jobs writing textbooks, getting grants and writing books on rationalizing hos terrorism in the ME and climate change are symbiotic...think of the horrors if they ALL lose their jobs...ha...ha ha...hahahahahahaaha
Another reason to live in or near Sierra Vista.
An ice sheet will destroy much of North America before Arizona gets that hot. Ironically Arizona will become a refuge from the cold elsewhere.

Unlivable? People live in Iran, Oman, Saudi Arabia... Mexico.... all of which get hotter every year than Arizona.
YUP! I Do. I enjoy it.
This group is probably an offshoot of the Soros/Brock disinformation/propaganda network. The devious methodology is detailed in Sheryl Attkisson's excellent book "The Smear." It should be required reading for every Freeper.
If there was no profit in finding global warming there would be no global warming.
Enjoy life! Eat out more often.....
Phoenix should do like LA, paint all the streets white. there problem solved
From the article:
The hottest day of 2017 (June 20) reached 119 degrees – 3 degrees lower than the record set in June 1990.
But, but.... 2007 was the HOTTEST year EVER!
A check on the records show that the hottest day in May in Phoenix, Arizona was 114 degrees on 30 May 1910, and the earliest within the month of May was 111 degrees on May 10th, 1934.
So we see the weather is not climate. But then again, climate is not weather. It doesn't look like Arizona temperatures are that much different than the past couple of hundred years, and I predict will stay about the same over the next 100.
Any temp below 80 and I’m cold. That’s why I’m Sand Rat.
I'm looking forward to it.
Feb was a bit warmer than usual around here. March and April, not so much, we even had a hard frost 2 weeks ago. That *never* happens. My gas bill will be unusually high, not looking forward to it.
So - 10 degrees warmer than usual = "Global Warming, and we're all gonna die"
20-40 degrees colder than usual = "It's winter/spring. Deal with it."
Arizona has always been unlivable.
At Christmas time the temps are 110 degrees.
Santa shows up in shorts.
***Arizona could be unlivable by 2050.***
Say WHAT! In 1870s Bourke, in his book ON THE BORDER WITH CROOK often talked of the excessive heat in the summers in southern Arizona. One joke was it was so hot you had to stack two mercury thermometers on top of each other to get the real temperature, usually over 120.
An old scout died and went to He!!. It was so cold there compared to Arizona, he begged the devil to be allowed to return to Arizona for his blankets.
Well, we seniors that live here in the Phoenix valley just go out at 6:50 AM, like I did today, walk my three miles with my wide brim ventilated hat and then later today when it is going to be 101, I jump in my pool, turning the ceiling fan on my patio on while I drink sparkling mineral water with lime and read history.
I’m with you - once I traveled through Arizona and almost fainted walking 20 feet across a gas station parking lot. It was like stepping into an oven.
Its the time of the year when politically correct climate alarmists wake up from winter hibernation.
