I think his point was that humans can and do adapt to desert conditions with extreme heat. — frank
This is true of temperate zones, but near the equator heat itself is a big problem. As a minute's research would have told you.volatility is the main problem, not heat. — frank
Then why would he so triumphantly post about air conditioning sales going down? — unenlightened

The world's hottest city whose coast can burn sea creatures to death and whose streets feature air conditioning has been branded "unliveable".
In one stretch in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, the river was 25 feet below the average for this time of year, according to the agency, which began collecting data in 1967.
Parts of three of the Amazon River’s most important tributaries — major rivers in their own right, each spanning over 1,000 miles — have also fallen to historical lows.
The day I come in here, and don't laugh — AmadeusD
Weird. What’s funny about it? — John McMannis
Ya but why? I look at the news of extreme heat and floods and stuff like that and it doesn’t seem funny.It arouses my humour mechanisms. — AmadeusD
I have read some. It seems he’s put you on ignore and you don’t like it? Maybe you’re making it personal. I don’t mind if people are a little insulting if I can learn from them, and I’ve learned a lot from him….also he’s not a mod.Have you tracked Mikie's posts through this thread? Several attempts have been made to catalogue his inane, insulting tirades that he seems to take pride it.
HIlarious he's a mod. — AmadeusD

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has officially evaluated temperature record extremes of 54.0 °C at two locations, one in Mitribah, Kuwait, on 21 July 2016 and a second in Turbat, Pakistan, on 28 May 2017.
In its most intensive evaluation ever undertaken, the WMO Archive of Weather and Climate Extremes, has verified the Mitribah observation as 53.9 °C (± 0.1 °C margin of uncertainty) and the Turbat one as 53.7 °C (± 0.4 °C).
The Mitribah, Kuwait temperature is now accepted by the WMO as the highest temperature ever recorded for the continental region of Asia and the two observations are the third (tied within uncertainty limits) and fourth highest WMO-recognized temperature extremes. Significantly, they are the highest, officially-recognized temperatures to have been recorded in the last 76 years.
Full details of the assessment are given in the on-line issue of the International Journal of Climatology published on 17 June 2019.
I think you’re in over your head here mate. Why do you go on like this? — John McMannis
A troll, a complete troll, and nothing but a troll. — unenlightened
My advice is to just let them be. Banging your head against a brick wall is useless— eventually you just have to stop. Ignore feature is helpful there. — Mikie
I look at the news of extreme heat and floods and stuff like that and it doesn’t seem funny. — John McMannis
But what does Mikie have to do with my question? Is climate change funny because of one person’s posts? — John McMannis
I would have banned, ... — unenlightened
But Mr troll is suddenly the world expert on weather station rules on the basis of a photo. — unenlightened

Why did you bring up Kuwait? — frank
Forgive me, I will not take your advice. If no one shovels out the shit, then the whole thread becomes shit. — unenlightened
Kuwait has been in the news recently because of the record temperature recorded from Kuwait's Mitribah weather station. A "staggering" 54°C. — Agree-to-Disagree
Global-warming/climate change (GW/CC) fanatics have gone wild claiming that Kuwait has become "almost unlivable". In truth it has nearly always been "almost unlivable". — Agree-to-Disagree
Is climate change funny because of one person’s posts?
— John McMannis
You're not reading very clearly, it seems. No one said climate change is funny. — AmadeusD
But GW/CC fanatics don't want to let the facts get in the way of a good story that they want to hear. — Agree-to-Disagree
Again I ask what motivates a person to go on like this? — John McMannis
You said when you stop laughing you’ll take the claim that climate deniers are braindead seriously. — John McMannis
What you’re really doing is being immature, which according to your post history you often criticize others for. I guess that’s my fault. — John McMannis
