Extreme heat deaths skyrocketed 1,000 percent in the last decade and most voters see climate as a 'serious' threat. Do the politicians?

When it comes to climate and the 2024 elections, Arizona just might represent the perfect storm of dramatic consequences: It's one of the states most severely impacted by climate change, a strong majority of voters share climate concerns, climate issues dominate political debate in the state, it's a battleground state that could help decide the presidential race, and its Legislature is so narrowly divided that it could easily flip from Republican to Democratic control.

'The debate over Arizona's record heat waves has also roiled the state's most prominent political battle, the tight race between Lake and Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego to replace U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who is not seeking reelection. Gallego has made an issue of the crisis, last year sponsoring a bipartisan effort to add extreme heat to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's list of major disaster qualifying events, which spurs federal aid.
