Because the VAST majority of impactful events are from Mother Mature.
People aren’t squat in terms of impact.
That being said, get back to me when Greta and the climate crazies go to China to protest.
Until then, you should probably talk to a mental health provider about your issues.

Not climate related, and individual events can affect the weather. Volcanoes can affect weather for years.
You learned something today.

Meh. Certainly human activity has some driving force, but not more than a few tenths of a degree. Cyclical heating and cooling are 100% natural processes (including human activity - we are of and by nature, are we not?) and would be proceeding absent any energy production issues.
CO2 levels have been MUCH higher in the geological record and, frankly, before the industrial revolution couldn't have been significantly lower without threatening plant life sustainability.
As a reminder: CO2 is NOT a pollutant. It is a trace atmospheric gas REQUIRED for life as we know it to exist on this planet. If anything, a little too little CO2 would be a much bigger problem than a little too much.
The laser-like focus on CO2 since the modern AGW cult began operating in earnest around 30 years ago is a transparent effort to control the production and consumption of energy. Energy is a proxy for wealth and control in this context, ergo this has always, ever and only been about control.

3)Saharan dust invasion..
So grow up and quit blaming mankind for Mother Nature's scary stuff.

I think pollution can have an effect, but natural "pollutants" spewed by volcanoes can have a much more direct effect immediately.
I dont disagree with "climate change" but I certainly do think opportunists have seized it for a chance to move further left and abscond with resources.
Opening up Canada and Russia to more agriculture doesnt seem too bad. The two largest nations are also sparsely populated and not very arable. That can change.

For us until this week the summer’s heat had been slightly below average for June & early July (with more rain than expected as well) and then close to average for last part of July and first part of August. Even a month of hitting 100 before this current heat wave didn’t seem as bad as similar periods in prior summers due to hitting 100 briefly very late in afternoon when temperatures peaking, dropping into 80s much quicker once sun went down, and ending up in 70s at some point overnight.
This past week and upcoming hitting 100 at noon and rising all day, not dropping below 100 until 9pm, and then not dropping below 90 until 2am to 3am is making up for it all at once.

It’s absurd that these politards automatically think you’re making a political statement by acknowledging that it’s been hot as frick this year
Not everything has to have a political motivation behind it.

I'm a big skeptic of the government many times but to say it seems to be getting hotter and hotter in shorter time spans seems to trigger the politards. It's all a plot to take our guns. Most hit the moneyboard last year about this time and told everyone to sell everything the end is near. Guess they missed some nice profits.

My issue is the trend I have seen (including the real world, not just on the OT) with otherwise sane, level-headed people becoming convinced that the weather has been something that it isn't. I will clarify again that I am not talking about where there is a legit, ongoing heatwave and drought. Those aren't the people I'm talking about.
Just two days ago I was eating breakfast with a family member. I asked how he was doing and he said, "Other than this miserable heat I've been good." I asked what he meant. He said the "heatwave is about to do him in". I simply responded that we haven't been that hot. He took offense and aggressively asserted that we have been hotter than it usually is in the Summer.
We (in north AL) just finished a week where we averaged 88.9° for the high with an overall average temperature of 78.1°. As a person who admittedly hates the heat, I will take that stretch every August. By every objective measure, including markedly lower humidity, we had a week that was about as nice as you could ask for in the middle of an Alabama August. He would hear none of it. He was convinced we are in the midst of the same heatwave as those to our west are experiencing.
I attribute this to the constant barrage of updates he, and many others, get on their phones telling them how hot it is. It plays out here often, with people finding temperatures that don't even exist (in the case of the Augusta guy) from sources only he knows, and making claims about the temperature in his area that cannot possibly be true.

Well… the “bitching” you see on the OT about the heat is mostly being talked about by the Texas and Louisiana posters, where this is actually occurring.
I just don’t understand why pointing out that for a majority of the OT this is the hottest summer in their lifetime is something some posters insist on denying.
Pointing that fact out doesn’t make you weak, and denying that fact doesn’t make you more manly.

How am I supposed to take this seriously when the location where I live has experience 9 straight weeks of 100°+ temps and little to no rain, and visits to emergency rooms due to heat-related illness, and the power could go out in my house for only 3 1/2 hours late Friday night- early Saturday morning, and the ambient temp of the house is already 87°! Something is wrong with this picture.

You're wrong. There is plenty of bitching by people from other areas.

Not on this website.
But go ahead and keep getting trigger by people acknowledging a historic heat dome
