The next ice age means even more energy would be needed! The greenies should embrace the status quo. Seattle is the worst town to experience the climate. My daughter lived there for 6 years. They only had some baseboard heat and usually kept the temp about 60. In summer, they can open windows without screens and do not worry about bugs or flies. There aren’t any. And, there is no need of air conditioning. So, this gives a false sense to the enviros of what life is like for the rest of us. It ain’t even close to Missouri life.
LOL! So bad that even bugs won’t live there?
He talked about how people could just open their windows like folks used to do and allow breezes in to cool things off. Use fans to circulate the air. No mention of how that would work in towns and cities with buildings where the windows don't open, but don't "sweat" (pun intended) the small stuff, right?
He bragged that he doesn't have an air conditioner in his house and does just fine. Come to find out later in the column that this guy lives in Connecticut, where the climate in the summer is very pleasant, I am sure.
He obviously has never lived in the deserts of Arizona where I lived for 25 years. Or in the insufferable heat and humidity of Florida, where I live now. Or in Houston, Texas, where an article in the Wall Street Journal years ago explained that the city would never have grown into a major metropolitan city had it not been for the invention of refrigeration or air conditioning. Why? Because it was so unbearable just to exist there, let alone live comfortably. Or many of the other places in this country in the south and areas that are hot and humid in the summer, where air conditioning is not a luxury anymore. It is a necessity to live and thrive in those locales.

You got that right. Often, lucky to have a week of spring and a week of autumn.
Not complaining!
