Yup, parts of Arizona that are pretty much hot deserts could maybe possibly we think a carbon tax could solve this become even worse
6 Arizona counties may be uninhabitable in the next 30 years due to climate change, study shows
Six of Arizona’s counties are at-risk of being uninhabitable in the near-future due to climate change, a ProPublica and Rhodium Group study found.
The study predicted which counties in the U.S. would face climate change issues to the point of having an uninhabitable climate for humans in the next 20 to 40 years by combining multiple metrics.
The Arizona counties listed, which included Pinal, Graham, Cochise, Mohave, Yuma, and Maricopa, were in the top 100 most at-risk counties in the United States. For context, there are 3,700 counties in the nation.
The study’s findings listed Pinal County in Arizona as the second most at-risk county in the United States of being uninhabitable.
And this is all from our old pal ‘climate change’!
The study projects that rising temperatures will only become more commonplace in the state, threatening the state’s agriculture production. Some Arizona counties will experience temperatures above 95 degrees for more than half the year, according to the study’s findings.
The average for Phoenix, in Maricopa County, is 87 degrees yearly. May through October are the hottest months, and already average 99F for the six month period, so, does this mean that the temps will go down due to you driving a fossil fueled vehicle and keeping the AC at 71?
Anyhow, if you’re living in what is essentially a desert area, it will get hot. And, what happens in 30 years when this study fails? Is there any punishment for that?
