The forecast shows a high probability of exceptionally hot weather continuing over the next couple of months. My brush last Friday with heat exhaustion, the lovely ambulance crew, and that I only avoided hospitalisation because my nibling was coming to stay so there would be someone to check on me was really *very* scary. Despite my ethical misgivings, I can no longer be in this kind of situation… a portable air conditioner has been ordered, for delivery next week.
I feel bad about this – I do realise that air conditioning units only export heat from indoors to outdoors (adding to local heat problems), and the manufacture of them, and the electricity they use, adds to the climate crisis.
