This troll has been around a long time. He used to call himself "Cajun",
doubtless a tribute (?) to his dubious French. Do not feed him anymore.
Then maybe he will go away.

He did say "for the moment." But Earl is famous for his weather predictions
- always wrong. For example, he predicted a warm July:-) OK, OK, there's
still time. We have a friend in Seattle with whom Earl's weather
predictions are a running joke. She came to Paris with her two sister.
Earl predicted clear, sunny weather. It snowed.

We need the rain, although I don't like rain. Unfortunately, in
summertime, the only way to keep the weather really cool is to endure
rain.

So will you turn the air-conditioning on at 24°, which represents the
same departure from average?

Global warming adds energy to the atmosphere, which increases the
variability of the weather and the magnitude of the extremes.

Not possible. Everyone sweats almost all the time. The only variation

There's more food in warm climates.

People with the means to go on vacation often live in relatively cold
climates.

Most developed Western societies conceived their current dress codes
prior to the end of the Little Ice Age (mid 19th century, IIRC), and so
require wearing far more clothing than modern, warmer temperatures can
justify.

How do you dress, how much do you weigh, and how active are you?

It is far better just to ignore this troll, even if you know who he is.

Earl, I retired at 50, I'm still enjoying retirement. Sometimes we have hot
spells, sometimes we have cold spells. Climate variations sometimes last for
decades, sometimes for centuries. 1,000 years ago Greenland was so warm that
the Vikings settled there and even grew grapes. Earth's climate variations
over time are a function of solar output, not human activity. The Kyoto
treaty etc. are just attempts to thwart what is perceived as American global
economic hegemony. We are the biggest and the best because we control our
government, not the other way around; so get used to it.

I would find anything below -20C too cold and above 40C too hot. It's
the 50C temps in Phoenix that have me planning to flee for the summer
when I retire there.
