So the only two times I’ve run across the term “corn sweat” have been in the last week or so. And both times the subtext has been “y’know, ‘corn sweat’. Everybody knows about ‘corn sweat’”

Am I being Berenstain Beared?

Nah just an easy excuse that people can use as a single answer to why the weather sucks instead of the long slow change of climate.

It's the Dubai chocolate of climate change denialism and will be also gone before you know it.

They drain the aquifers to water the corn. It evaporates and comes back down when the conditions are right. They’ve been right a lot but also I guess hard to model or we’ve really damaged the prediction services previously available to us.

It's always humid around large amounts of plants, even those that grow wild, because all plants transpire. IE sweat.

There's a lot of shit farming does that's bad for the environment, but "corn sweat" isn't a conspiracy to cover up the human hand in the high humidity recently. Just a new buzz word for a thing most people probably didn't know about.

The new Superman is David Corenswet, pronounced "Corn Sweat". Movie came out two weeks ago, and it was the San Diego Comic Con last weekend. Been hearing his name aloud on a lot of my podcasts.
