9. Living here in the desert SouthWest of Arizona, I can't imagine why anyone would live there.

Can you imagine the carbon being pumped into the atmosphere from the power required to run all those AC units? Why aren't they all required to have solar panels on their roofs?

Maybe it's offset by all the carbon spewing in the winter to heat those same dwellings.

What an effed up place to inhabit, doesn't look like a suitable place to live to me.
