There is no such thing as too cold. There is only under dressed. At least that's what the old fucks say. I like me a toasty summer but that doesn't make it any less true thst its easier to get warm when your cold than it is to get cool when your too hot.
Fucking BEST movie!
It's not the heat that kills me. It's mostly the added humidity. (Germany)
That's great and all, but living in cold climates is less sustainable and uses more resources than warm climates: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/03/130328075710.htm
Very US centric take. I'd be curious to see how Dubai or Singapore stack up in terms of energy consumption per capita compared to large cold-climate cities. Everything is air conditioned and there is so much enclosed space because being outside sucks so bad.
Here me out please.
Throughout most of the time humans existed we lived a migratory existence. It is only with the adoption of agriculture that staying in one place sense made sense.
Now here we are, with like 2% of our population involved with agriculture and still living that way.
We should all migrate like birds and stay in cooler climes during summer and warmer climes in the winter.
Obviously this is a huge change, but we can do it!
But think of the industries, how will the CEO's and shareholders buy their second yacht, if all the lowly employees got to live comfortably. The masses must suffer for the benefit of the few.
And why do you think they buy yachts? To make sure that they can migrate.
Over time, agriculture led to ownership culture, and one of the most stable investments and forms of wealth has always been land.
As long as land is a valued commodity, nomadic culture is impossible.
Can I just retreat to a dank cave like I normally do in the summer?
Dank
Yeah, nah. We weren't that migratory. Birds change continents on the regular. We might move inland or down the river a bit.
You ever been swarmed by mosquitoes in the snow? No? Case closed.
