GOP lawmakers are brushing off the extreme heat — and any suggestion of climate change.
When Arizona lawmakers returned to the state Capitol here earlier this month, they started their day with a prayer to ease the scorching heat.
All told, the average daily temperature — the average of the high and low — was 102 degrees, or more than 7 degrees above normal for July, which is also a record,Meanwhile, dozens of people have died amid the extreme heat. Maricopa County, where Phoenix is located, recently brought in newto hold all the dead bodies, a tactic it first employed during the peak of the pandemic.
But among some Arizona Republicans, saying this summer has been especially hot is akin to saying the 2020 election was especially free and fair or that Covid-19 is an especially deadly virus., Arizona might, in theory, be the kind of place where lawmakers grapple with this new reality. But the politics of climate change are just as paralyzed here as the rest of the country.
