    Strangely, North America often seems to dodge the worst of the heat on these maps. I feel this is actually somewhat unfortunate on a global scale, sound we have a lot of power and tend to be a substantial obstacle to energy policy change.

      I’ve lived in Texas for twenty years, and this summer has been the most unbearable.

      Yeah I live in Ontario near the great lakes and our last 2 summers have actually been relatively cool and we’ve had lots of rain too. I bet there are a lot of boomers that live around the great lakes that think climate change is complete horse shit, just because we’ve barely experienced anything negative yet.

      But we also had all the smoke from the wildfires this year, we had a crazy snow storm the last 2 winters and last spring we had a wind storm that did tons of damage and knocked out power for days. So there are some negative things, just depends on if people believe it or not.
