Climate

The record cancelation of flights out of Phoenix, Arizona in the summer of 2017 due to unusually high air temperature is the reason I picked my doctoral research topic on the impacts of climate change on aviation.

Now, Phoenix set another unfortunate record: 100 straight days of 100°F (~38°C) or greater heat, beating the previous streak by 3.5 weeks.

The death toll will likely be in the hundreds this year (it was 645 last year for the whole Maricopa county). But of course, this does not include the death of local fauna and flora, which is silent until we find our food chains disrupted.
