Regardless the cause, global warming is a real thing. Fortunately, once the ice caps sufficiently melt, which is happening faster than previously predicted, North America will freeze like a popsicle. So, there's something to look forward to.

I am happy in Texas if temp stays in mid 90's during summer at least. Last year had 90 days over 100 degrees. Mid 90's seem cool compared to say 105. One of my favorite pastimes is to complain about heat from my air conditioned palace. Seriously do hate the heat though.

Once upon a time we were using this old system called Fahrenheit in Canada but nowadays we are using the celsius metric system. Makes more sense once you are used to it. It's like looking at a stochastic oscillator, above zero you are in the hot territory below zero you are in the cold territory. Above 30 celcius you are overheating, below -30 you are overfreezing.
