Why does this board get so angry if someone makes an easily observable point that it is hot outside. 
I don't get the anger and vitriol in this thread.

We’ll that settles it. Two summers in a row where it’s hot in, of all places, Louisiana. I’m convinced. It’s got to be manmade climate change.
Moving forward, every time the weather isn't right around the seasonal average the climate hysteria will ensue.

but, he didn't just "say it was hot".
Summers growing up in baton rouge were never as hot as what we’ve had the past two year

I guess I am missing why this angers people. Seems like hyperbole that people use normally to describe things.

this is the mildest summer central MS has had in a long time and this spring lasted a full 5 or 6 weeks instead of the usual 2 or 3.
im loving this weather. high of 90 yesterday in JULY? Ill take that every day and twice on sunday.

But that's all subjective and has a massive recent bias stamped on it. Is it hot? Hell yes. Is it unseasonably hot? Hell yes. Has it ever been this hot in South Louisiana before? Hell yes. It's full force El Nino, something I'm not sure we've experience recently. We've had partials, but nothing where the full extent of it's effects can be felt. Even still, hydrate, wear appropriate clothes, and if you are old as shite...stay inside. It's still the goddamn summer.

Anyone who has had to sleep without A/C in the south knows that it's always been hot in the summer. Always! People just had better ways to deal with it. Attic fans, screen doors/windows, working in the shade. Kids played in the sprinkler or just drank from the garden hose.
This. I was born in 52 and it wasn't until 78 that I got my first home A/C unit put in any house I lived in. All the jobs I had up to that time and beyond were outside jobs, so dealing with the heat was a natural thing.
The house I grew up in had a large whole house window fan with a reversible motor that could be set to blow out or blow in. It was pretty much set to blow out so it could draw air into the house through open windows.
I do know this----once you get accustomed to A/C, it is REAL hard to do without it.
My age group went through grade school, middle school and high school without the benefit of A/C, just large fans in each room with those huge tilt-out windows along one wall to let some air in.

I’m guessing you are a millennial and just soft.

In the summer months my mom would walk through the house every night to use one of those old time Black Flag flit guns to spray a mist of insecticide to kill mosquitos that got in the house.
She'd walk in the room and say "Get under the covers" and spray that fine mist and I wouldn't come out until it settled.
Guess all that poison is what made me what I am today.

Yep. That truck would pass through our neighborhood frequently in the summer months, usually just around dark.
I will sometimes hear one passing my house to this day, but it is usually much later at night when fewer people are out and WAY less often.
