They were still using those up into the 70s. The faster you drove the more cool air you got. :)

You just hung it on the window and you were good to go... :)
Comedian James Gregory on ‘global warming’:
“In the summer...it’s hot. And some summers...are hotter...than others!”
The way he delivers his lines and his facial expressions are hilarious.
Exactly. The one scary thin about Death Valley back in the 50s, was the distance to traverse it. Because places to get help & gas were not available. Also, the traffic load was sparse, which may be an overstatement. 🙂
I visited Death Valley and it was hot. Really hot.
The day before I was at Yosemite and it was snowing. We stopped at a sort of everything store, the only place in the National Park as I recall. There were two Hyundai auto test teams there. They had come to Death Valley to test the cars under extreme heat.
In Death Valley, that’s where the heat is
Don’t forget what our troops endured in Iraq. Temps regularly above 120 degrees F.

Almost the same story here. Two years ago, we spent the night at Stovepipe Wells and experienced a real live dust storm. It was late May, and IIRC the temp at Furnace Creek was 97F. Even though our car was buttoned up tight, there was a film of dust over the inside.
The next day we drove up to Sequoia, and it snowed a bunch that afternoon and night. It was enough that it stuck until late into the afternoon of the next day. Had the roads not been warm, it would been real trouble driving.
we have a dry heat, and the nights cool down into the 50's and we are able to keep our fairly large house pretty cool just by opening windows and using fans....we have one room air conditioner that we use for the hottest part of the day and it does just fine.
exactly....
True that on humidity being a factor in discomfort. But don't discount how deceptively dangerous dry heat is. Those of us who grew up in the humid southeast can dehydrate when visiting the desert (dry heat) if we drink water based on how we feel instead of drinking water based on actual temperatures.
“I’ve been there at 120, cruising with no air and was more comfortable than at 90 in the humid Ohio or Mississippi River Valley.”
Absolutely, no water in the air...
“There was only one place, and it was a tie that had been reached 4 times before. The place was Big Bear Lake. Just downright laughable with all the hype.”
Yep, they are searching the world for that one anomaly that supports their narrative. What I find incredible is that they still stick to the “global warming narrative even after it has been debunked a hundred times. They never quit grasp at straws.
Yes and it’s below sea level hot ensues.
Here are temp records for July in Tulsa OK. You will see that the hottest temps July 17,18,19 20,21,(109-113 degrees) was in 1936.

I spent 2 weeks at Barstow CA in the desert in the 1970’s. Every day high temperature was around 116 degrees.
It was dry heat. If you sweat, it evaporated rapidly.
Plenty of water and you can handle it.
They were still using those up into the 70s. The faster you drove the more cool air you got. :)
There’s a giant big-money effort going on to sell the climate change crisis fraud to anyone gullible enough to believe it.
But on the subject.
I have also seen it 116 degrees here in central Texas.
Not often, but it was more common during the Great Drought, 5 years of incredibly low rainfall.
“Death Valley put a sizzling exclamation point Sunday on a record warm summer that is baking nearly the entire globe”
It is winter in the Southern hemisphere, and it is supposed to get above freezing briefly this coming Wednesday at sea level in the Patagonia National Park in Argentina. And of course, across the globe from there it is snowing today in recreational areas in Australia. But the Southern Hemisphere does only make up half of the globe, so we don’t want to confuse things.
One day it might be almost as hot as the 1930s were, but this time it will be because of a gas essential to all life on earth that now makes up 00.04% of the air. To put that number in perspective, approximately 00.03% of the people in the United States have more than $100 million. Are you a personal acquaintance of any of these people?
Of course, the most quoted official percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere is determined by measurements taken at the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii. The Mauna Loa and Kīlauea volcanoes that the observatory is located on and downwind from are a couple of the world’s largest concentrated natural sources of CO2. Does that seem like an odd choice?
