Nobody plants corn in Arizona. Peddle your apocalyptic message elsewhere.
Going to need you to do some research before you post things like this. Corn is one of the top 5 in the state of AZ. There are cornfields in every town. We have large ones within 3 miles of our current home and have had them around us in every area we've lived here (major cities, not farming areas).
I lived in Phoenix for 2 years, and my best friend has lived there for 24 years. 115 isn't unusual, it's July/Aug. Always in the 110s during summer, like mid-June to mid-Spe and the city goes about life just fine. My hottest day when I lived there was in summer of 99 and I recall 124 degF, and I went to work, was outside, etc.
Yuma tends to run about 2-3 degF hotter than Phoenix on average, and 120+ in Yuma is common.
Palm Springs and Vegas both get that hot all the time and it doesn't stop life from happening.
It's nonsense. Yeah, nothing happens in Phoenix for two whole months. Sure.

Well, the source is Rolling Stone... Op could have started this thread with a review of 'Sharknado' with little noticeable difference!
Human beings have lived for thousands of years in hostile environments that were dangerously cold or hot and survived. They stay in place and adapt or migrate to more hospitable places. We're a pretty hard species. Civilizations collapse. Millions perish. Some of us will still be around even in the harshest conditions.
That's what I'm desperately trying to do. I can't take the weather anymore. I just don't know how to make enough money. I can't take another December here because then I'll get sick all over again due to the bitter cold wind.
That's it, no more electricity, paper, garbage collection, etc for Phoenix until they fix their global warming by sending me their cash money... Ironically, that's what liberals propose... Luckily we took away their guns so they can't fight back....
No, you are going to continue living inside with your air conditioning set on maximum cool. I'm from the Four Corners and I've spent plenty of time in both Phoenix and Tucson. These cities grow hotter every year and where once the average temp in Phoenix in the summer was around 94 degrees, temperatures of 100 degrees and up have now become common. It doesn't cool down that much at night as it once did either. Now night time lows in Phoenix get down to only 90 degrees and air conditioners hum along around the clock. I lived my entire life in the SouthWest and the changes are obvious.
The other fun thing that residents of Phoenix and the rest of Arizona are dealing with and that is only getting worse is drought. The level of the water stored in Lake Mead only continue to drop and the threat of reaching deadpool is a real possibility. Finally, for the first time ever, Arizona does not get to draw any water from the Colorado River thanks to the severe drought that has gripped the SouthWest for almost 20 years now.
You couldn't pay me enough to live in Phoenix. That city is a disaster waiting to happen.
If you are referring to the average maximum summer temperature in Phoenix, it has been over 100 degrees F for quite a while.
I also recall a minimum temperature of that city at 99 degrees F about 30 years ago.
Also, the record high temp (122 degrees) was back in the 1990s. Phoenix has always been hot!
Global warming means a couple degrees. We can handle that. It is the perturbations in weather systems - the storms, the droughts , the freezes, the changing ocean currents etc that will destroy us.
The alarmists are busy spreading fear and panic in an effort to win political elections.
