I treat that as a valid statement generally, and it applies in particular to climate change alarmism. Don "Cafe Hayek" Boudreaux elaborates: "The general public would surely pay more attention to climate reporting if programs such as yours were to substitute realism for incessant apocalypticism."
There's more blessing-counting from Michael Barone. "We're Living in the (Almost) Best of Times." Specifically, "The natural tendency of most people is to ignore positive trends. They are neither the lead stories on your local newscast nor mentioned in shouting matches on cable news."
Go, read, understand, reflect.
Happy New Year.

FWIW: the "hottest" I've ever been was in Buffalo in 1988 (where people don't "need" air conditioning), in Seattle in 1991 (where people don't "need" air conditioning), in San Francisco in 1996 (where people don't "need" air conditioning), and in Zurich in 1997 (where people don't "need" air conditioning). I lived in New Orleans for 9 years, and Tuscaloosa for two, and I was fairly comfortable all the time in both of them. Go figure.
