Temps were in the mid 90s in New Orleans, the locals we talked to mentioned the heat and asked if we were okay.  When I left Austin it was 105. I said, "We're fine, this is a refreshing change."

My brother and his family who live in Brandon, FL, were home last week and froze to death in the evenings when the temp got into the low 70's; that is about the temp were I stop sweating. It cooled off enough for a couple of days that we were able to shut the AC off and open the windows. One evening, the weather channel was saying that we may dip into the low 50's or high 40's. I don't know if we did, but I slept like a baby with the windows open and fan blowing on me.

I'm good in the low 70s.  Low 60s and I'm looking for a jacket.  Anything in the 50s might as well be the North Pole.

On the flipside, I won't even mention the heat until we hit triple digits for a couple weeks in a row.

June Electric bill was $88

May bill was $49

the AC hasn't run much up to that point and the wind power in Iowa must be cheap

It is pretty nice today in the shade, pretty hot in the sun, but humidity is tolerable weather app says 85°F and 61%.  We were out for a walk, had lunch at a new "Korean" place pretty far from us, down near Tech,  it was "OK".

I remember an engineering symposium I attended at Northwestern University in 1989.  There were keynote speakers on various topics related to engineering, and the one that was speaking on behalf of the Environmental Engineering specialty, stated that the world would run out of fossil fuels by the year 2000.

So, um, that was something, anyway.  Glad I decided not to go to Northwestern...

yup, back in about 1976 there was gas rationing and declarations that the world would run out of oil before 2000

Speaking of weather, I'm headed out to the lake to beat the heat.  Y'all stay cool!

That meme like many of its ilk is entirely misleading and incorrect.

Firstly, Gore never said that, he did misquote someone who he claimed mentioned it would probably be ice free by then, but the scientists said he would never claim such a thing.  And sea levels of course are highly variable on a diurnal basis, not to mention the rise predicted even by 2050 is very slight.
