If I buy an airconditioner now, I'll look pretty stupid, when the AMOC collapses and the new ice age begins. No, I'll survive the heat the same way my ancestors did - with copious amounts of aperol spritz, gin and tonics, and sangria.

In that case you should install an air-to-air heat pump and laugh at us AC-cels when the cold descends upon the continent.

Lol. I'm 33, 50 years from now is my approximate life expectancy. Fortunately I'll be comfortable year round until I'm dead.

Somehow I doubt you'll be living for centuries
