This place uses a heat-pump for cooling, in the summer, but it uses a furnace for heating.
It used to reach -20C or colder, here, in the winter...
it's rained damn-near every week, this winter...
since there is sooo much lag, between the climate-forcing adulteration of our atmosphere,
and the actual climate's temperature,
it looks like we're going to be .. needing to find some other planet to be inhabiting, in a century...?
Based on actual history, this planet's current equilibrium-temperature is +5C..+6C, not anywhere near the +1.5C delusion people are still believing-in.
but when one factors-in methane ( & only that one ), that we add, it works-out to +8C..+9C planetary equilibrium... ( using methane's 20-y equivalent, of 82.5x factor, given the current 1.3ppm to 1.4ppm that we have unnaturally added of methane )
anyways, here's the link stating that at this atmospheric CO2 the planetary-equilibrium-temperature is between +5C & +6C, in case anyone is interested:

Thank you for that reference! Very interesting
