"I live in Canada and I don't feel hot" is probably the weakest reason anybody has ever come up with to deny climate science.

From what I've heard this summer, most people in the northern hemisphere have a similar feeling.

Yes, which is why we don't base our understanding of climate science on our 'feelings'

Just like the "new normal" weather maps, where a normal July temperature is now bright red and the humidity is front and center. Using terms like humidex and wind chill to push an agenda on unsuspecting people to make weather sound different. That both measures are subjective and only apply to a narrow metric matters not to our forecasters. Both are not a measure of temperature but used to scare the gulible into thinking it is either hotter or colder than actual. All seemingly directed by the climate alarmist crowd. Even going as far as saying that wildfires, set by humans, is all climate change related, right!

While we can't say how much the changes in the climate have contributed to any particular wildfires, there's no doubt that the changes are contributing to more extreme conditions, which are making these events more likely and therefore more frequent.

Windchill has been around since 1945 and is a pretty non-controversial way of indicating the wind's impact on weather and humidex just combines temperature and humidity. I think you might be stretching to find grievances here.

I'm pretty sure wind chill has been around since the creation of wind...
