As an Arizona native, occasionally my paranoia about living in a desert and simultaneously living through world wide climate change begins to really worry me.

Inevitably I come to a conclusion that is very similar to yours. Arizona is pretty low on priority for water from the Colorado River and does a great job with water reclamation.

That being said, I worry if I'm just believing what I want to hear

At the very least, living in a desert is better for climate change than living somewhere you need to burn fossil fuels for heating.
Though you need a lot more AC during the summer. Something solar could provide but until it's more ubiquitous most power would still come from fossil fuels.
isn't desert colder at night?
Than day? Yes. Colder than Minnesota? No.
