We've been forcing interiors to be warm with technology for a million years, it stands next to the stone ax as our original invention.
Last century we figured out how to force interiors to be cool, reliably.
This must not be confused with the tendency to squander our unique gift of abundant energy. Places like Arizona could have houses with massive walls, arcades, all the refinements the Pueblo, Persians, and many others have brought to living in arid regions: and air conditioning, which is a wonderful invention.
If your solution to ecological crisis is to return humanity to immiseration, I reject that utterly. There are more dangerous things than warm weather and this attitude is prominent among them.
