- Skin cancer is a really big problem in this country.
- Oh, there are bigger problems in this country
than skin cancer.
- People die everyday from skin cancer because they--
- People are dying of starvation.
Let's fix that issue. - No everyone should be
getting sun check.
It is the suns fault.
(upbeat music)
- I am here to tell you
that cold weather is far superior
to hot weather for a number of reasons
but mostly because it just is.
- Warm weather is better.
People prefer the sun because there's more to do in it
and it gives us sense of freedom
that winter months rob us of.
- When you're hot there are only so many layers
that you can take off of your body
until you are actually indecent in public.
When you're cold you can simple keep putting on layers
until you feel like you are a comfortable temperature.
- Okay, but at what cost?
The more layers you put on the
less like movability you have.
You wear a coat and then it's like I'm a little penguin
walking around everywhere.
- Extra padding.
- For what?
What do you plan on doing?
- What if you trip and fall?
- You're tripping and falling because it's cold
and there's ice everywhere.
In summer you don't have that problem.
You can wear-- - It's extra padding,
I'm not going to get hurt.
- Loose, free clothing and that's really nice.
- And then I'm going to trip over my sandals
on the sidewalk.
- You live in New York City,
you shouldn't be wearing sandals.
- AC's and fans put so much pressure on our energy grid
it accounts for 20% of all electricity usage
during the summer.
In the winter, we're not running our AC's.
We're a comfortable temperature in our homes
and there are more natural ways of achieving heating.
- Such as?
- You can start a fire.
- Oh yeah, because like trees are just everywhere.
Also oil is burned a lot in the winter.
I don't know where you're from, I'm from Jersey,
that's a big issue is those oil tanks
going in the ground everywhere, ruining the land.
- You know that's absolutely true.
- Yeah.
- But hydrofluorocarbons are the main coolant in AC's
and they are far worse for the environment
than carbon monoxide.
- I don't think people heating
and cooling themselves is like the main
global warming issue right now.
If you want to like attack global warming
there's like other big stuff to handle.
People prefer the sun.
Literally no one has ever said like,
"I can't wait to move to Alaska
"where I don't get sun light 90% of the year".
But California dreaming is like a popular phrase
and that because we get sunlight like 75% of the year.
- As someone who is a native of California
I can confirm it feels like you are in an oven
90% of the time.
- As a fellow native from Southern California,
when I go back home I'm fine.
I don't need the AC on.
- I'm glad that you're health enough to feel
that way but a substantial amount of the population
actually suffers from heat exhaustion, confusion
and even an increased risk of heat attacks in high heat.
Why are we putting ourselves at higher health risks
just because of the sun?
- People die of hyperthermia
and according to a 2015 USA Today study
the cold kills 20 times more people than the hot does.
So you can't really use the health part now.
- Yes, except 9500 people are diagnosed with skin cancer
from your beloved sun everyday.
- At that rate, like the entire country has skin cancer, so.
- Yes, it's a big problem.
Get checked.
- Cold weather brings us more opportunities
for accessorizing.
Now you may not like having so many layers on
but I like the myriad of choices
that cold weather brings me.
When it's hot I can only wear like one layer
and then I'm done.
But when it's cold I can put on a jacket,
I can put on boots, a scarf, a hat.
- It's not that you can it's that you're required
to put on those things.
If you don't put on a coat, if you don't put on boots,
if you don't put on your scarf, your mittens,
your gloves, hat, everything, you're freezing.
You have to wear those things.
Don't let the industry convince you
that this is a choice you want to be making.
You need to make that choice in order to protect yourself.
- Sure, but I can make cuter choices
than I can in the summer when I'm dripping with sweat.
- If you're dripping with sweat
you're wearing the wrong fabrics.
- Hot weather makes everyone uncomfortable,
sweaty and overall miserable.
When it's summer we want to run away
from the heat not toward it.
Cold weather is much easier to adapt to
and obviously superior.
- Summers got a little bit of something for everyone.
The outdoorsy types can go outdoors.
The young types don't got to go to school.
The foody types can go to the farmers market
and everyone can get vitamin D.
