    If your climate never got up to 29, it does. It’s the same as people and infrastructure freaking out in Texas because they had a couple of cold years. They got some weeks under -10°C and electricity got cut-off, water pipe burst and people died. Are people dying in Norway when you get to -10°C? Absolutely not.

      That sounds like that infrastructure was cost-cut shit outsourced to private profiteers.

      The reason Texas’s electricity collapsed is due to that exact reason. Their power grid is separate from the rest of the country.
