    My brother is used to runs in the high 90s near Baton Rouge. I guess you just have to get acclimated. I tale precautions when it's ridiculously hot. I'll either get an early start if I'm off that day or wet down my head and upper body before I leave the house.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    I'm a history nerd. Pardon the tangent.
    Mine as well but history is politically malleable.

    Very true.

    The agencies use different baselines and techniques to measure the Earth’s temperature. NASA’s data shows the planet was 1.7°F above the 1951-1980 average while NOAA’s data indicates the planet was 1.6°F above the 20th century average.


    Data show large parts of Eurasia, North America and the Arctic were extremely warm for January.

    Both datasets show largely similar patterns of warm and cold spots. The eastern half of North America and parts of Russia and China were all well above normal for this time of year while Europe and the western U.S. were on the cooler side.

    The real planetary hot spot was the Arctic, though. NASA’s analysis includes the region, which was blistering by January standards. Large areas saw temperatures that were up to 9°F above normal. The heat has continued into February with another wave of air up to 50°F above normal reaching the North Pole in the past week.

    EDIT

    Funny that January 2018 has been busting all kind of cold records here in the states . . . especially in the south. Snow where snow has not fallen . . . since records have been kept. We have not had such cold in Florida since the early 1980's. Snow in Tallahassee and Pensacola, everywhere in the panhandle. 16 degrees in Lecanto, Fl (north of Tampa) just yesterday morning.

    Imagine that?
