I am completly opposed to Air-conditions propagandized as a solution to climate change. What is the wright approach to combating this state of temporary relief except from old-fashioned fans? Don't get me wrong. They do the job for me. I am reffering to finding a solution for people more with health issues or large facilities that are in need of something more drastic.

the self flagellation is funny but on a serious note cold is easier to deal with analog, layers and blankets.

eta: by analog I mean without the use of electricity (patently not what analog means lol)

In 2021, the polar vortex caused sub zero temperatures in northern Mexico. It was -7 in Monterrey. You don't deal with -7 with just layers and blankets.

i have dealt with sub zero in a sleeping bag in an Adirondack (building with 3 walls, basically outside)

Wow you must be so much tougher than Monterrey's toddlers and old folks then. 💪
