For anyone who feels the temperatures discussed in the article are oppressive, I recommend they try to spend more time outdoors for a month if they are not constrained doing so by debilitating health problems. When I used to live within an urban core with a greenbelt interlacing the neighborhoods, I regularly walked/jogged outside in 37º C (98º F), 90% humidity. It was tough the first few weeks, but the human body is highly adaptable. Strongly YMMV, as some people just cannot stand the outdoors, just like some are supertasters. Apart from the benefits of not being dependent upon A/C for comfort, I found out when I vacationed in a tropical region I really enjoyed mixing with the locals in outdoor cafés, with no distractions from the heat and humidity (mosquitoes are another story, I just slather up 3M Ultrathon and will take the increased cancer risk consequences later in my life /s). The only downside I could identify: I had to carry around a jacket year-round, because what most people associate with "normal indoors temperature", especially in offices, felt quite cold to me. Which is ironic, because my tolerance of cold weather also increased. I suspect the key variable is either humidity, and I'm just more comfortable now in high-humidity environments, and low-humidity offices somehow raise my perceived sensitivity to the temperature. Or just that I'm not as physically active inside an office (part of the reason I love to WFH, as I can take short breaks outdoors to keep myself invigorated).
