This seems like a reasonable analysis. One thing I think it neglects is the ability of people to adapt, and the fact that people don't adapt until forced to.

This seems like a reasonable analysis. One thing I think it neglects is the ability of people to adapt, and the fact that people don't adapt until forced to. For example, in many countries will provide shelters when conditions reach the point that it is necessary to do so: https://tribune.net.ph/2025/03/10/doh-directs-hospitals-to-set-up-cooling-centers-hydration-stations-amid-heat-stress https://tribune.net.ph/2025/03/10/doh-directs-hospitals-to-s... https://biz.chosun.com/en/en-society/2025/06/17/5LYKRPNYTJEQNDBD4AP7H44ROI/ https://biz.chosun.com/en/en-society/2025/06/17/5LYKRPNYTJEQ... You can search, there are hundreds of examples. Additionally, individuals and families put thought and effort into solving this for themselves. Setting up a room with a beat up old window AC and salvaged insulation, even if they they can only run during peak times to provide protection for their elderly relatives, for example. People in these countries aren't going to start suddenly dying by the millions when it gets to hot, they will adapt and overcome. Rich industrialized countries should provide some kind of compensation, it's manifestly unjust for rich countries to keep all the benefits while poor people have to reallocate already meager resources to survive the consequences. Rich countries should provide offsetting investments in education and infrastructure. It would be a massive benefit to a poor community that depends on importing diesel to generate electricity if they were provided with wind and solar capacity, especially solar in this case. This would directly make their AC use more affordable as well as reduce additional emissions.
