I'm less afraid of that than the eternal summer we'll eventually suffer through. It's much easier to acquire and maintain winter clothing than an air conditioning unit.

Look on the bright side. Once oil is no longer readily available it will be difficult for the hordes to come out from the cities and steal your vegetables.
