In Asia it's humid hot, the air just feels so dense..and the smog makes it worse. but everyone has AC so it's okay. Thing is after you're indoor for too long, it can get really cold..so when that happens just step outside that first 5 min would feel so good lol. Then after that you start sweating again haha. To make things worse, everyone has AC turned on and pumping out MORE hot air into the atmosphere.
It's funny cause in TW i saw commercials where the had these ice scarves (scarf + icepack)..should've bought one.
Here, even with the heat you'll get some wind, but without AC it can get icky.

Ice Age? I wAnder what caused that........... perhaps the dinosaurs weren't thinking green.
Global warming / climate change is just an excuse for scientists to get more funding and messing with politicians.

what we have measured so far shows a change aka climate change. which I think makes perfect sense, nothing can stay the same, things are constantly changing.
i think global WARMING is totally wrong, and that phrase shouldnt be used anymore.
of course you're right, in the greater scheme of things maybe this is just a little bump in the road.

yeah I was just checking the temp and relative humidity and the RH is always 50 or below.
It's unbearable yes, but when I was in LA or Philly visiting family, the RH was always 80-90%.
I'm still glad we don't have that here

Too much russell peters.. | It does stink but that’s a given when you have that many people and most don’t have running water or toilets.
The worst smell in India has to be in Mumbai, it stinks like human shit because of massive open sewers in the slums but the thing about Mumbai is its very humid and the temp never goes below 25c at night or goes over 30c during the day year around so the air just sits and smell never goes away. It gets even worst when the monsoon rolls in.
And almost every Asian city has a smell, it's hard to explain what the smell is but order something directly from China and you'll get a good idea about the smell I'm talking about but 10x stronger. Quote:

these days, i wont even put on a shirt if im outside and im fat | I think it's more of a culture thing. People like to look formal when they go out and most of the lower caste or poor people in India wear what look like shorts and t-shirts.

So you guys thought this was hot right? What did it hit 33 degrees roughly in the city. Well at my work, which is a glass studio, inside it hit 49 degrees. Hotter than just about any US city at any time.
