In ten or twenty years, I think much of the South and Southwest will be pretty hard to tolerate.

LOL. Weather is cyclical, and the cycles are years. In KS we just came out of several years of severe drought, most of the state is officially caught up on rain. It will probably be like this for a while, then dry out again for a few years. Our summers tend to be either cool and rainy or hot and dry. This is how weather works, no matter what Algore tries to tell you.
