Which underlines the lack of any meaningful truth in the key statement.

  Why? (Unless they somehow live wholly isolated from global temperature affecting their experience.)

    One might question how you could "experience" a global average temperature, unless perhaps you travel a whole lot. This is an important topic, but "If you’re 27 or younger, you’ve never experienced a colder-than-[global]-average month" strikes me as a rather silly statement.

  If I said that it was 55 degrees in Chicago today, would my statement lack any meaningful truth if the temperature was closer to 58 near the lake? The idea that making the statement that monthly global temperature averages haven't managed to be lower than the historical average once in 27 years should be seen as utterly irrelevant bordering on deceptive because there was a cool January in my neighborhood last year is really making me ill right now. It's not even pedantry, simply solipsism.
