Do you think they're making mountains out of mole hills about the weather again?

First, I completely accept the evidence for climate change, and we need to do something.

However, they’re acting like this is the first time it’s hit in the 90s and even low 100 degrees in Kansas in July, and it’s ALWAYS been this hot here. Always. We played in it as kids, we swam in the creek, at the pool, we ran, played in the hose…but people aren’t even letting their kids even go outside here, and that’s just insane.
Back in 95, when I first moved to this town, my van didn’t have AC or heat. It was July. I was driving down Main Street with the windows down. Passed the bank and the time was 1:13. I thought “It’s later than that! It’s 3:00 at least!” Then it hit me….that was the actual temperature. I have no clue what the “heat index” would have been.
When I got married out at the lake in July of 06, I was really relieved when then temperature was only 94. It could as easily been 104.

Every tornado season they act like nobody has heard of tornadoes in Kansas before and they make a HUGE deal about each and every one.

It’s a whole lot of crying wolf to me. What do you think?
