Wow, that has to be one of the most geographically ignorant statements I have read recently, and it comes from an .edu address. Please come down an 'interact' with my environment for a year without using A/C in your car or home. Camping in the summer? Forget about it, not in a 'Westy' unless you can hang a window unit on it. An afternoon sales call or customer meeting? Make sure you carry a couple of changes of clothes with you to replace the ones you just sweat-soaked.

Why don't we make it even - drive around this winter in your vehicle without using the heat - remember its all about interacting with your environment.
