I lived in glendale AZ for 9 years born there I remember most of june was 110-115 and july 112-117 or 118 and that would last for 3-4 weeks sometimes more than after that when would get heavy rain from the pacific coast during mid or late july during monsoon season to oct or spet its normal my dad who lived there for 5 years remember a year that it rarely got below 112 degrees let me tell you cactus don't die there unless it has been dry for 2 years never happened, disease, or old age, or also a bird could've lived in it it would also cause it to look like that
Breaking news! Phoenix Arizona is hot! Oh my god, no way!
Why anyone would want to move to Arizona… beats me.
50 year record? And that's evidence of "climate change"? How bout 75 years back? Or 100 years? 50 years is such a short time frame to try and put on a graph and say, "oh, oh, SEE! Climate crisis!"
Over dramatic. Ridiculous.
@ 2:04 uh, probably will be hot till October or November genius
Wow even the cactus!😢
Lord Jesus and i thought texas at 102 was bad
Rip plante earth
Hot in a desert 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Never leave your house without a frozen water bottle
I couldn't live in a place like Phoenix or Las Vegas. I don't know how they do it.
No sympathy from the comment section 😂
This is nonsense. It was hotter in the recent and distant past. There is no satellite data before 1979, and there was no real network of temperature stations outside Europe and America before the 1950s, so "hottest ever" is not very long!
It was much hotter in America in the 1930s, and the Vikings grew barley on Greenland, which is impossible today.
This is bull meant to scare people into giving up their prosperity.
Satellite data shows the Earth is continuing to warm at around one-tenth of a degree Celsius per decade. If we didn't have thermometers we couldn't even notice it.
I'm in the Phoenix area. I take my dog for exercise after the sun goes down. He gets water every half hour.
Maybe we shouldn’t be living in the desert?
muuuh global warming
Fake noose
* It's the only cactus dying of a disease *
Journalists: SEE! Cactus is dying of heat stress!
No one should be running and cycling in that temperatures…
Eeek, she said cactuses!!!😮
If only there had been, "some kind of warning"… You know like drought, a rising sea levels, melting of the polar ice, increase in global temperatures, increase in the oceans tempetures….🙄…
☝️😲 Oh wait… breaking news report… What was that? So you are saying there was? Just in, there were warnings from the scientific community and even a high school girl named Gretta. Everything happening was in global climate models 🤷. You can literally check the boxes on what they were saying was going to happen, step by step 2015. If you want to know what we're in store for and what's going to happen next, read the modeling papers. Devastating hurricanes, famine, tornadoes, fish dying off, plants and animals going extinct, wildfires across the globe, decrease food production and availability…
I'm not long for this world and i did my part to reduce my carbon footprint. I don't even have kids, but those of you that do…good luck 🙄.
Next year will break this year's record. And as the climate deniers lay dying from the heat, they will still say it's normal.
Run for your lives!!!! It’s HOT in the desert during the summer!!!! 😂 🥵🙄
They didn't mention that these temperatures are only downtown by the airport and typical for July. The suburbs are lower, but what can you expect from reporters who don't even know that the plural of cactus is cacti? SMH.
Oh no a little heat 😭
WRATH….ITS IN THE BOOK
Tempature records are made out of glass?!?!😂😂😂
