Is, uh... is climate change no longer a real problem?
- dahfizz 4y agoThat is an extremely uncharitable take. OP is clearly saying climate change is an issue, but is not particularly relevant to the issue of human sleep.

- junon 4y agoMakes sense, I think I interpreted your original comment differently than intended as well.
- jawarner 4y agoThe fact that heat stress affects different populations with such different impacts is super important to climate policy and diplomacy and geopolitics. The authors in this case identified a concrete, statistically sound demonstration of disparate impact of heat stress. That’s something I wish I had emphasized in my top-level post.
