Using humor to illustrate the way exaggerated weather reports and constant government warnings manipulate public perceptions of "extreme weather" and climate change.

Feels like sex and candy to me.

Feels like totalitarianism to me...

Never minding humor, I have been deceived by these “feels like” reports into thinking that it was much hotter outside than it was. It’s no accident!

"Current temperature 95 degrees, but it feels like a hundred and five.”

Sounds like a banned lyric from the 50s.

[Inyo-Mono]

Bttt.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, I grimly recall the dire warnings associated with wind chills approaching minus 60, as in “exposed flesh freezes in 60 seconds”.One rapidly develops a precise aversion to losing consciousness outdoors

The author COMPLETELY mis-understands the heat index and wind chill index. In order to feel comfortable when the temperature deviates from normal, the human body attempts to compensate. It sweats when it’s hot, and it sends more blood to surface vessels when it’s cold. The wind when it’s cold, and the humidity when it’s hot changes the effectiveness of these body reactions. The indices attempt to measure these effects, not the actual temperature. The actual temperature doesn’t change at all.

SEVERE!

Like a three-year-old jumping up and down going “Look at me! Look at me!”
