During that time they had two separate streaks of 6 days in a row of 100° heat
The first A/C was invented in 1902 but was not installed in homes until 1914
Could you have made it 44 days in 100° heat with no A/C?
I bet swamp arse was bad and people just flat-out stunk

1911 heat wave killed 40k in France, so I'm thinking the answer is, "No."

Tempers flared at the Traffic Circle that summer, that I can tell you.

Could I have made it? Of course. They did. But I woulda bitched about it every hour if every day

Just googled this question...
I would like to ask the author to explain the heat wave in 1906, and since the author attributed dangerous heat waves to man-made emmissions, we emitted almost 0 GHG in 1906. Yeah, people burned wood in their homes. Not much else.
Of course, when you google it, there's article after article like this.
It's was around 68 and low humidity this morning here in NC. Almost chilly. My parents still live in AL.. they are getting that heat too. Unbearable.

What's causing the current heat wave?
The researchers found that greenhouse gas emissions are not only making extreme heat waves — the world's deadliest weather events — more common, but that they've made the current heat waves hotter than they would have otherwise been by multiple degrees Fahrenheit — a finding, Otto said, that wasn't surprising.

Glad to see Ellick getting some attention here lately. It's the crossroads of Louisiana, after all.

The, "People were tougher back in the old days and people these days are just weak and spoiled by air conditioning." line that people love is a fallacy. Heatwaves then were more deadly, particularly in the slums of cities.

1906 was the tail end of the Second Industrial Revolution. CO2 levels were at all time highs

This is a very inconvenient fact that must be denied, or changed, to fit the agenda.

Also the same year Central LA (mental) Hospital was built.

no one can convince me that the temperature gages used in 1906 weren't far less accurate in comparison to technology used today.

Don't let Korkstand and Corinthians see this post.

I saw where the media reports of record temperatures are looking only at years after 1940. Why you ask. Because there were a few periods before that were hot as “frick” Like all the dust bowl years. Charts in this thread show the proof, but no one knows this so therefore it must be

Was this the year Mt Driskill erupted, sending lava down the North Atchafalaya River and prompting the name change to the Red River?

Damn those 1906 power plants and refineries
