Given the theoretical (NOT scientific, as so-called "consensuses" are NOT scientific) choice of (per my locale) '5 - 10 days that reach above 100° in the middle of the summer' and '5 - 10 days that reach below 0° in the middle of the winter', I would choose the former. [1] It's cheaper, [2] it's more pleasant, and [2] my pastures and gardens grow much better in the 80's - 90's than in the 70's - 80's.
I'd gladly contribute .20/gal to achieve a global static temperature of 70.

Anyone who disagrees with my proposal is an anti-science heretic!!

Phew! My student loan finally went through, so I won't be kicked out of school. That was much too close for comfort.

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day.

Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in a boat drinking beer all day!

Does it look less goofy than the Besson BBb recording tubas?

Seems like it takes a lot for a tuba to get the Bloke seal of approval. Must be the real deal! Congrats!
