“4.5 million residents are living in hell”
I thought the population of the United States was much more than 4.5 million. Oh well, live and learn.

Not all of the US is hell; I hear the future New California Republic (once they balkanize, expect it within our lifetimes) is nice.
There is no chance of balkinzation or secession of California unless the entire USA falls or splits. CA is the 5th largest economy in the world. That amount of wealth would never be allowed to leave. It'd make the entire South seceding look like a trial run.
Not that they'd really try without a dissolution of the Constitution first. They'd probably just start passing laws that ignore the Constitution and federal laws and then dare the fed to intervene. Would still need a massively weaker fed, though.
unless the entire USA falls or splits
That would be what balkanization means.
I agree that they'd never be allowed to seceed, and I don't think they'd ever try. But America is a burning building; eventually it will collapse

People keep saying this. They've been saying this for decades. Other countries keep having bigger problems first, I think it's just because you see all of America's dirty laundry while virtually all other countries governments take more steps to control the flow of information.
And Bobby knew this shit like 20 years ago. It regularly gets into the low 100s in July and August in that region. It's not so terribly bad since it's dry heat, especially when there is wind. Arizona isn't even the highest risk area. The biggest issue in the US wet-bulb temps in the southeast.

What's that in real temperature units?
If you are discussing the affects of temperature on humans, you should use a human centric temperature scale, so I'd say that is already the appropriate unit.
