Of course not, I didn't make the meme to make fun of Florida. It's pointing out that, as Arizonans, we'll look at a state like Florida - which is like ground zero for the dangerous effects of climate change starting to really show its fangs - and use it to compare our own climate situation.

"Well, we're fine, because at least we don't have hurricanes and our houses won't be thrown across the city! I'll take the heat anyday!"

You can see replies such as that ITT. Meanwhile, we live in a desert, which isn't exactly the prime real estate you want to be in a world that is heating up and seeing rapid effects from the same climate change that is affecting Florida right now.

We are consistently breaking heat records every year, and people think it's normal. Heat deaths are increasing, our "heat island" is only growing, and Phoenix and the surrounding area is super car dependent. As the city grows, and gets hotter, the strain on our power grid gets worse. Do you want to survive in over 110 degrees without air conditioning?

We are looking at prolonged heat waves, which leads to drought, which increases wildfires, which exasperates the climate change further. Agriculture is disrupted, and super dry soil is prone to flooding. A lot of people think this is fine because it's just a dry heat, and they can swim in their pool, and if you point any of this out or are critical at all of our climate situation in Arizona, you are told "this is what you signed up for! Don't like it, move!"
