It's true to a point. I grew up in Texas without AC. But also, the heat wasn't as longlasting on the calendar and most nights were somewhat of a relief. We don't really get that anymore.
1979 oil crisis, Colorado schools were poor so they cut thermostats to 65F instead of 68. At home, my bedroom was above the poorly insulated garage. Spent a lot of time outside in February with a telescope. Later I moved to Minnesota.
The thing that’s so infuriating about this too is that the problem with global climate change isn’t “you feel hotter,” it’s that it threatens to collapse multiple ecosystems and weather systems that are crucial for life as we know it. Like, your body can’t adapt to THAT.
Not to mention that all the 'tolerance to rising temperatures' in the world won't convince the proteins in your brain not to denature. You hit that magic 105.8F+ and all the mindfulness and good hydration in the world isn't going to stop your body from shutting down as vital proteins denature.
This is the most hilarious form of denialism yet. I saw a guy say "the human body can do physical labor in 44° heat for hours - it's all in the hypothalamus."
