Arizona is already a place that is uninhabitable to humans for 4 months of the year without a cooling chain (air conditioned house to air conditioned car to air conditioned work).
Basic survival there already requires artificial means; adding water to the requirements list only makes sense.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoArizona, like NM, is a state of some substantial climate range. Yes, Phoenix in summer is close to uninhabitable without cooling, even with adobe/stone construction and properly designed ventilation. But head north to Flagstaff and the story is entirely different. Well designed structures are entirely comfortable there even in the middle of summer. On the other hand, it is also cold enough to require significant heating during winter.

- mvkel 5y agoAbsolutely they did. They also didn't wear clothes, or have shelters with walls. So if we went back to that, we could definitely stretch out a few more decades of habitability. It's also fair to say that the temps, even as few as 500 years ago, were much different than they are now.
