This past July was the hottest July ever recorded on Earth. Conditions here in Arizona have been similarly relentless. As of Sept. 3, Phoenix had endured a record-breaking stretch of 100 consecutive days of at least 100-degree temperatures. Arizonans know all too well that we are the epicenter of the most extreme impacts of climate change. Besides the unrelenting and deadly heat, we are challenged with historic drought, destructive wildfires, and some of the worst air pollution in the country.
