Obama got the Peace Prize for creating hope after dubya … and partly in order to “bind” him to commuting to peace.

That was not one of the better selections.

It is becoming more common in northern Europe, which sounds counterintuitive, because heating during winter is a far bigger issue here than cooling during summer.

However, many private houses get ‘heat pumps’, which gives you more heating pr kW than pure old-fashion electric heating would have given. Basically it is a backwards airconditioner.

These heat pumps can also be run backwards, and then they function as aircondition.

The operative words here are ‘likely’, ‘unlikely’ and ‘probably’, which function as verbal CYA for a retired general giving an over-simplified analysis based on insufficient background knowledge.
