Summers in Newfoundland, winters in Caribbean.
Pretty low footprint though. No heating, no cooling. No utilities lities to speak of. But some travel costs.

CO2 reduction plans are well underway as far as I can see. The covid lockdowns were a good start
Still, despite a month of record-setting water temperatures already in the history books, Sunday and Monday's 100-degree water temperature reading stunned experts.
If all goes according to plan, like past COPs, powerful economic interests will sabotage what would otherwise be a rather dim forecast of a planet in various stages of collapse, some terminal.
We’ve seen this act (COP) repeat over and over, ever since COP1 in Berlin in 1995, as each successive COP-ending-ceremony finds the Parties congratulating each other, slaps on the back, for one more successful climate conference of 20,000-30,000 able-bodied professionals wiped-out from overconsumption of Beluga caviar and Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, but subsequently carbon emissions increase the following year, and every following year thereafter. What’s to congratulate?
More to the point, the annualized CO2 emissions rate is +60% since COP1, not decreasing, not going down, not once. After 25 years of the same identical pattern, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the take-home-work from all 25 COPs mysteriously turns into the antithesis of the mission statement of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

It's theater to keep you believing the world's governments are looking out for you when all along COP Cons & the IPCC were created to control how the science is presented & to protect the big interest parties

So please don't attack the good people who set up the IPCC or the COP treaty process or who worked on them (that would include me, by the way). Put the blame for the ever increasing CO2 emissions where it belongs...
So please don't attack the good people... Put the blame for the ever increasing CO2 emissions where it belongs.....on China, India, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

"For those of you who are interested in statistics, this is a five-sigma event. So it's five standard deviations beyond the mean. Which means that if nothing had changed, we'd expect to see a winter like this about once every 7.5 million years." Edward Doddridge, Physical Oceanographer, Research Associate Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, UTAS, and a Theme Leader in the Australian Antarctic Program Partnership (AAPP)...
This year's ice decline was not the first time the phenomenon was witnessed. There were all-time lows in 2016, 2017, and 2022, but the sea ice recovered in those years. The fear is that the ice will not recover this year even though the continent is in a dark and bitterly cold winter.

Antarctic sea ice is at a shocking low this winter, collapsing to an amount far below anything recorded in the last 40 years.

The water will be lapping at the steps of the whitehouse before anyone takes any notice I fear. Thankfully I live well above sealevel.

My bet is “No.”.

No $hitThe Earth’s oceans have never been warmer. Every day since late March, the world’s average sea surface temperature has been well above the previous highest mark for that day. And there will be ripple effects:
Hottest July ever signals ‘era of global boiling has arrived’ says UN chiefAs wildfires raged across Southern Europe and North Africa, top UN climate scientists said on Thursday that it was “virtually certain” that July 2023 will be the warmest on record. July 2023 would likely “shatter records across the board”.
“Climate change is here. It is terrifying. And it is just the beginning,” said the UN chief, warning that the consequences are as clear as they are tragic: “children swept away by monsoon rains, families running from the flames (and) workers collapsing in scorching heat.”
[UN Secretary-General] warned that “the era of global warming has ended” and “the era of global boiling has arrived.”
