at a temperature that won’t roast puny AC adapted people alive
That’s not the only problem. I lived without AC for the first quarter of my life, so living in Canada’s only semi-arid desert I have had to tolerate a lot of hot summers. But where everyone else had the lightest artistic sheen of sweat across their brow while complaining about the heat, I looked like a drowned rat.
Turns out my core temp runs nearly a full ℃ lower than most everyone else, and my body struggles like hell to keep me appropriately cool. Learned that gem in my late 40s.
When the doc tested my heat tolerance - and being of German parents I have used wet saunas all my life - turns out that my wet bulb threshold is a good 3℃ lower than the average person.
Climate change can and will be literally more lethal to me than most other people.
