Can't be true or false. We cannot predict the future, but Salon, Vice and climatecheck.com have all examined the extreme heat, drought, flood, and fire risks in Phoenix. Climatecheck.com stated that Maricopa county, home to Phoenix, is one of six counties in Arizona at risk of becoming uninhabitable to humans in the next 20 to 40 years. 

Salon and Vice also reported on the possibility that Phoenix may become inhabitable within the next 20 to 50 years.
