Freedom degrees. Roughly -13° or 38° if you live in the sane parts of the world.

I’d pick triple digits, mostly because I’ve lived in places that routinely hit 100° in the summer, and I hate shoveling snow.

Triple. No hesitation.

First off, coats are heavy and stupid. Breezy linens all day every day.

What food you going to grow in below freezing temps? Millet, sorghum, rice, grapes, tomatoes, onions, garlic -- all already grow in triple digit temps. I'm eating well.

Natural evaporative cooling is easier to achieve than burning slow-growing resources for heat daily. Millennia-old technology exists to handle high temps.

More people live in the Sahara than the Arctic. I'm not a penguin, no matter what the other kids said in school.
