It’s definitely not for everyone. Like anywhere, it’s got its pros and cons; it’s just a matter of preference and how you balance the pros and cons.
For me, the fact that I absolutely love the desert, is the primary reason that I have called Arizona home for many years.

Yeah and the world was supposed to end a bunch of times already. The Mayans didn’t have it right, the ozone layer is still here despite hair spray still existing, the super volcano that can go “literally any minute” is still being quiet, and we humans are still consuming fossil fuels like a glutton in a buffet.
Tomorrow I’m sure we’ll hear of some comet that came within astral inches (aka hundreds of thousands of miles) of hitting us or how we dodged a solar flare and thus wasn’t obliterated down to the technological stone age or how the infernal doomsday clock is still 1 tick from global nuclear war and I’ll still be forced to go work my slave job for relative beans producing more productivity in minutes than boomers did in days to weeks while my paycheck is worth pennies on the dollar to what theirs got them.
So basically just another Tuesday. People are over the doomsday nonsense and have no faith that “this” time someone actually got it right.

You need more icecream, your millenial brain is stuck on boomer diatribes today.
For many species, the world has ended, because they’re extinct.
The talk about the destruction of our planet isn’t about the planet itself being destroyed, but rather the planet being a habitable place FOR US AS WE KNOW IT being destroyed.
True. But somehow I bet it was hot.
Sure. I’m just not going to lose sleep on what supposedly is going to happen in 5 years when tomorrow is perfectly capable of all these “world ending” (for us) events to finally actually occur and make that worrying irrelevant. Where is my super volcano? I’m like dead smack near the middle of its supposed eruption. It better hurry up before random comet 2199273903 slams into us or Putin gets tired of being a global laughing stock and pushes his big red button letting the “lucky” few have their IRL playthrough of Fallout.
Will the earth be a fireball in 5 years? Honestly doubtful. None of the other doomsday claims has happened. Heck if I were to believe my super religious family, we’re all way overdue for our impromptu permanent sky daddy vacation. He must’ve taken a wrong turn in the Milky Way and is waiting for astral GPS to get him rerouted and on track.
I really doubt the USA’s climate is going to change that radically over 5 years.
Good.

Summers in places closer to the equator do tend to be like that. Relative to the rest of the earth and whatever ice age or climate patterns the earth is going through. 
It was probably hot in 4009BCE too. We just don’t know how hot.
Sure. Except you said (effectively): I love the desert!!
And when someone openly questioned the sanity of such a decision, you didn’t give any reasons or anything, just again said “I love the desert!!”
Reinforces more that the sun has baked your brain, more than you simply love saguaro. 
The beauty of the desert is akin to what I love about snow: nice to VISIT… to enjoy temporarily … but no flipping way would I subject myself to LIVE in it. And having lived in snowy areas for a long time, I openly question the sanity of people who choose to live with it. NEVER AGAIN, for me!
Temperatures were pretty hot in the Permian extinction, too.
Which is something we’d rather not repeat. That’s kind of the whole damn point. 
Sell and move to Iceland.
You’d still have the volcano problem tho.
Methane being released from the bottom of thawing glaciers and oceans might make you rethink that.
Well. I like to choose my own adventure when it comes to apocalypse. Also, if you’ve read any of my previous additions to this thread, I am in no way taking anything I say too seriously - so yes, extinction is bad.
That temperature side conversation was about how much weather/meteorological info we really, factually have in the USA. Where you’ll see headlines saying this is once in a millenia heatwave. We don’t actually know that for sure. We’ve only got roughly 250-275 years of climate recorded in North America from European settlers.
I live in one of those states who get quite a lot of snow and not a single person I know of actually looks forward to it or enjoys it for more than a token amount of time/amount.
Well I do kinda take it back. People that I know that do unequivocally enjoy it don’t have to deal with any actual work/effort dealing with it like say driving in it or the traffic nightmares it causes or shoveling it and whatnot.
You have some strong opinions, and you wield them like a club.
As you don’t like the desert, you have the option to avoid it. Freedom of choice is bliss.
When we can prove the entire North American continent was under 700 feet of ice … it’s a safe bet it wasn’t “warm.”
There’s a lot we can tell without an actual thermometer.
Maybe it was too subtle, but my actual viewpoint was: to each their own.
But it’s also true that you could have provided some/any reasons you like the desert. Instead, you just said “I like the desert” twice. All in good fun to find the humor in that.
Go enjoy your desert. I’m not part of the typical GD crowd that hates on everything. You just typecast me, that’s all. 
Parts of the continent were warm in context to what was happening at the time though. We have to apply our understanding evenly to each time period, to the causes of each weather pattern and go from there. We can’t pluck out something 750,000 ago caused by volcanic expulsion and try and relate it to humans consumption of fossil fuels and use of plastics. It just doesn’t work. Each cause is unique as is the overall development or fallout of following weather and climate patterns.
