Temperatures in France cross 45°C threshold for first time since records began

I was able to check a thermometer and note a consistent 5 degree Fahrenheit difference compared to before removing them and after removing them. I was able observe that the room not only felt less hot, it felt less muggy. I was able to observe that the large roaches endemic to Georgia stopped showing up when the cardboard was removed.

I don't believe their mass taking up space explains it. I believe them giving off heat like a rotting compost pile is vastly more likely.

But feel free to make me look like idiot by testing it under lab conditions all scientifically in a way that I was in no position to create as a desperately poor divorced single mom just trying to get to sleep at night by removing the cardboard from my room because it actually helped.

I didn't say it didn't work. I was attempting to express some curiosity about the mechanism of action. It can be useful to know why it works, so I was curious.

And I answered your question to the best of my ability -- in spite of your track record of first attacking and dismissing me elsewhere before asking questions about the mechanism.
