Yeah, I'm from Texas, I'm used to walking outside and the air giving you a great big steamy hug.
Cold kills healthy adults, heat kills only those who are already weak and near death
... heat kills healthy adults perfectly fine, max. If you're from texas, you should actually know this. I'm from florida, and heat stroke has been trying to kill me annually since I was a kid. S'come close a few times, too, and we actually
do lose healthy folks to it often enough.
Heat also kills crops just fine. Particularly when paired with drought. There's different crops that'll do alright in cold, too. Extreme temperatures either way screws with people and the various things they give damns about. One's a hell of a lot easier to get comfortable in, though, and it damn sure isn't the hot months. We can all move to sane climates, use automated bots to harvest food in the hellzones. That's a future I could get behind.
And yeah, fuck summer. Fuck summer with the bones of every person it's killed, may it drown in the oceans of sweat it drags screaming from the flesh of mankind, strangled in the parched flesh of everyone it's dehydrated.
Or at least florida summer. Any tropical/sub-tropical area, really. I know what hell on earth feels like, and it's called "July"
and multiple months on either side of it. What I understand summer in some places is relatively sane, so maybe it's not as bad there, but anywhere even remotely close to the equator it can go shove heat shattered glass up its arse.
