I agree with some of this. But not having cooling or heating will make the civilization existence in many parts of the world nearly impossible. India(and probably other Asian countries) is a prime example.
- PeterisP 4y agoAt least a few years ago, 90%+ (probably even 95%+) of people in India didn't have AC, so not having cooling clearly does not make the existence of civilization impossible there.

But I assume most time is spent surviving instead of living. You can’t be very productive at 35+ degrees. 3. Many people in India survive without a toilet. Doesn’t mean it’s how it should be. And their lives will be much better if they didn’t have to defecate on the streets. I’d argue same applies to ACs.
