Yeah, I hate when the temperature falls below 18 degrees Celsius! There have been times when I’ve gotten so uncomfortable that I’ve had to put some pants on. It’s possible to survive it, for sure, but it sucks.

While it’s important to recognise the gravity of the problem, it’s also important to recognise concrete steps that can be taken to address it, and this article doesn’t really go into that. For example, to stop the Amazon deforestation and burning, it is necessary to both stop the “global appetite for burgers” and shift to reforestation and sustainable decentralised food production. This is one example of people trying to do that, but such projects need to scale up massively in order to have an impact on such large problems as climate change.

I haven’t run the numbers, but your assessment seems about right. The lower the humidity, the greater the potential for evaporative cooling, and the higher the max tolerable temperature. No reason to avoid moving to the tropics anytime soon.

Anyone have a source to support that claim? It sounds like something that could be true on a per-capita basis, at least in “developed countries” over a cherry-picked time interval.
