Narrative:
Aircraft would not cool down on taxi out and on climb cockpit temperature went to 100 degrees. We tried turning pacs; trim air etc; to try and regain temperature control. It was so hot we talked to maintenance and dispatch and elected to do an overweight return landing. Notified flight attendant's and did a PA announcement. Had fire equipment standing by to check tires and brakes after landing. Rolled to end with minimal brakes everything okay. Talked to maintenance at the gate and duty manager. Aircraft removed from service; had a extensive history with temperature control problems.
