This can help places that used to be cloudier, but also, a good % of the world already was mostly bright sunny days. The people already hot, my guess would be, will not see a big amount of upside here.
Places decreasingly temperate will see some real benefits to solar energy availability.
I don't think we have a good idea what happens to wind, as we heat. It's anyone's guess. But we are seeing constant ocean current slow down & change. That feels the the silent prime mover here, the real impact of climate on the ocean, which begets so many climactic cycles.
I do think personal cooling is a somewhat neat possibility. The thermo acoustic heat pumps on particular seem miniaturizable in interesting ways. But right now this is a fairly dystopian sci fi, one where personal cooling is a battlesuit against the awful overshot arrived-bad-future.
