US summers used to be much hotter.

I wouldn't reference the Steven Goddard blog (pseudonym for Tony Heller), where he has made several multiple fallacious claims. He was forced to admit his erroneous claim about a flawed NSIDC graph on sea ice, and has even been outed by fellow climate change denier Anthony Watts regarding his claim of data manipulation. The summer US argument is flawed in and of itself...it shows that one doesn't understand the core tenet of the argument it is against (i.e., GLOBAL mean).

That's pretty interesting. I think the most telling of the question is the second one about government using climate change for an excuse to raise taxes. Spain is the one country that bet it's economy on renewable energy carbon taxes and basically went bankrupt.

Only four days have hit 90 degrees this summer

We haven’t even had a day where it reaches 100 degrees

don't you feel trapped on the coast?  like you can't venture more than a few miles inland or your whole elaborate climatic farce will come crashing down on you?
