    The best climate is here in Medellin. It’s called the city of eternal spring. All year round the daytime temperatures are around 23°.

    As somebody who still wears shorts in -5C, that does sound pretty nice. Anything above about 27 can go fuck itself.

    The neat thing about being at the equator is that temperature is more to do with your altitude than any other factor. If you want to be hotter in Colombia you just go downhill. Higher up if you want to get colder. Bogota is closer to 15° all year since it's a few hundred meters higher up in the mountains than Medellin. Cartagena is closer to 29° since it's right on the coast at sea level.

    Do you mean the oceanic climate of France and England, because the ocean moderates the temperatures so winters aren't as cold and summers not as hot as the continental climates in the rest of northern europe.

    Speaking as someone who grew up in a continental climate i would not say they're the best. Winters can be horrible and make you it so it's unbearable to be outside for more then 5 minutes.

    In general ocean moderated climates are the best because they're much more moderate. Mediterranean climate is the best because of this.

    No lol. Humans evolved to live in 25c as a normal average temperature. Living in colder places like the UK and Russia is facilitated and made possible only by immense burning of massive amounts of fossil fuels through both direct heating and manufacture of clothes.

    You do realise that people did live in the UK (and Russia) before the discovery of fossil fuels, right?

    Live? No. Survive? Yes. Some still do out there I think.

    25c - 34c is the comfortable temp range range for summer/spring though at UK moisture levels and wind speeds. It's too wet and too windy for even that to feel particularly hot.

    Once you account for wind chill and humidity, UK 10c winter temp is like ~4c actual felt temp.

    Being uneducated and calling others uneducated? Are you a Reddit refugee by any chance?

    Go read:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_comfort https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_temperature

    High humidity and low temperatures cause the air to feel chilly.

    Cold air with high relative humidity "feels" colder than dry air of the same temperature because high humidity in cold weather increases the conduction of heat from the body.

    There has been controversy over why damp cold air feels colder than dry cold air. Some believe it is because when the humidity is high our skin and clothing become moist and are better conductors of heat, so there is more cooling by conduction.

    You can check the primary sources under the claims on Wikipedia yourself and maybe learn a thing or two before you go around spread misinformation and calling others uneducated and making a confidently incorrect fool out of yourself.

    I would also read some about "Wind chill" and the Heat Index. Start with Wikipedia but check the sources and explore these concepts. Then look at thermodynamics and how heating in your home actually happens and how insulation plays into it and how energy is produced.

    Good day.

    Edit: downvoted but no actual rebuttals. It's like I'm back on Reddit you guys, the hivemind style of anti-intellectualism is great to see, we really do live in a society.

    I was responding to your claim that I was misunderstanding the effect of humidity on air temperature.

    Hence y'know - all the stuff about humidity and air temperature? The stuff I posted that you're allegedly "well-versed" on?

    Judging Ants? Evolution? Did you reply to the wrong thread or are you just spamming random nonsense? And why are you talking like a 14 year old? And what is with all that ableist shit about autistic people? Is it meant to be insulting?

    Edit: Now that I think about it, that insult doesn't even make any sense - autistic people usually are known for having a special interest and lots of specific knowledge in an obscure subject.

    The "autism" as-internet-insult that I think you're using is meant to imply someone is out of touch or too deep in the weeds wrt some overly nerdy topic like ricing window managers in Linux or something.

    I definitely don't know much about the topic at all nor have I thought about this for very long, this isn't my specialty, nor do I claim to be "well-versed in all these subjects" which I'm not sure is even actually possible as they're separate areas of study - but if I were, I would not use it as a source of authority, I just have the basic research skills needed to cite established and well-regarded sources to back up the specific claims I made.

    If you'd like to prove something in a debate or make a point in a discussion or establish a claim as valid - you should probably do so by doing the same, not simply claiming to be an authority and then going on some rant about ants and autism.

    Blocked.

    Judging by the downvotes people really underestimate how much emissions come from heating and how intolerable temperate continental winters are without it.
