(12,196 posts)You expressed exactly how I feel too. I'm angry, frustrated, and scared. Here in the Phoenix area it's supposed to hit 114° on Saturday. Yes, it gets hot in the desert but never has it been this hot and for this long. We are shattering all our old heat records. Our annual monsoon has been non existent this year. This is not normal, not even for the desert. There is a kids book series called "Choose Your Own Adventure". Throughout the books you get to make choices and when your adventure is over you can go back and pick different options. I wish life were like that. Unfortunately it seems with the 'big things' there are no do overs. We are stuck with the course that others have chosen for us. Al Gore would have been an awesome president. Had he been president we would be so much better off. I am angry...I am frustrated...I am scared and I don't see any way this is going to end well for us.
Yes, saguaros die but not in the numbers they have been falling this summer. Extreme record heat and no rain to speak of, they just can't take it.
