And another issue to consider is whether there are any cliffs to be eroded away as the sea levels rise.
Well dammit and fryit.Are you planning on taking water with you? Because the desert is running out.
Sure, you might give yourself 3rd degree burns plopping bare flesh onto vinyl/leather seats in a fully heated parked car. You can fry an egg on the hood... but parts actually melting? Nah, that needed extra help.And now I’m beginning to have 2nd thoughts.
When first I saw the clip, I wondered if the melted components weren't simply props, attached to the car in order to make a viral video.Sure, you might give yourself 3rd degree burns plopping bare flesh onto vinyl/leather seats in a fully heated parked car.

Common plastics have a higher melting point than Phoenix record high temps. (like 200f+).
Likely it was parked too close to something that was on fire, or a it was subjected to some kind of heat-gun prank.
Or heaven forbid, it was parked in the wrong place at the wrong time of day when a curved fully-windowed building caused solar energy to converge on it. (I think that's a major violation of building codes in phoenix though)
I assumed you were only joking about moving to a state like Arizona. You're not serious, are you? Wait, of course you're joking, because running full tilt into a danger zone that people should be leaving would be crazy. It's just so hard to tell, sometimes, without tone markers.And now I’m beginning to have 2nd thoughts.
Bless their hearts, poor microbes must be simply starv'n down there in Rick Perry/Louie Gohmert country...Meanwhile in Texas (not strictly climate-related, but certainly to do with drinking water)
Texas residents warned of tap water tainted with brain-eating microbe
Communities around Houston are potentially contaminated with Naegleria fowleri, which enters the body through the nose and travels to the brainwww.theguardian.com
I am indeed moving to AZ with Tigress. For several reasons, some of which include that we’ll be moving in with her best friend from childhood , renting at a very favorable rate, it’s desert and we both love the desert. ( I spent two years at George AFB in CA and loved it.) The cost of living is low and since I’m retiring and will be on a fixed income, that matters hugely. Tigress’ only income is SS disability.I assumed you were only joking about moving to a state like Arizona. You're not serious, are you?

/me waves bye-bye to the drinking water.Meanwhile in Texas (not strictly climate-related, but certainly to do with drinking water)

I must say that I’m kinda disappointedSnopes tags the melting car light stories as fake. The cars are real, but they apparently were in a construction area fire.
Meanwhile:
Temperatures In Arizona Are So High Right Now That People Are Posting Pics Of Things Melting
The temperature in Pheonix has almost reached a record-breaking 122 °F (50 °C) recorded on June 26, 1990, and it's becoming harder and harder to escape the insane heat. The flights are being cancelled, and things are literally melting. Today it's up to 116 °F (47 °C), and 168 °F (76°C) on the...www.boredpanda.com
I dunno wth I didn’t realize that, thanks for pointing it out.Sure, you might give yourself 3rd degree burns plopping bare flesh onto vinyl/leather seats in a fully heated parked car. You can fry an egg on the hood... but parts actually melting? Nah, that needed extra help.

Actually, Houston - NASA country, and a lot of tech jobs and engineers.Bless their hearts, poor microbes must be simply starv'n down there in Rick Perry/Louie Gohmert country...
Now they blame microbes for their behaviour?Meanwhile in Texas (not strictly climate-related, but certainly to do with drinking water)

Happened here too - This London skyscraper can melt cars and set buildings on fireI dunno wth I didn’t realize that, thanks for pointing it out.
speaking of curved windows focusing sunlight, I think something like that happened here in Dallas some years ago.
ETA: Yep, it did. Turning Up The Heat: Building Glare That's More Than A Nuisance
If you're retirement age and don't expect to live too long, then you'll probably be okay.why do you call it a danger zone?
Given the San Diego area's geography, if the ocean level rose enough, there'd be a lot of small islands over there.Presuming of course, your home is still habitable without the utilities and access that were less elevated.
My home would be fine, I'm at ~280ft above sea level. My power, comms, water would probably be gone, as would the rails/roads that bring food/services to my future isolated island.
I've heard of something like that happening somewhere before, where light and heat being reflected off a high-rise was causing car windows to explode or something like that.I dunno wth I didn’t realize that, thanks for pointing it out.
