How about turning this whole thing on its head. I went to a wedding today, beautiful day (sun shining, no wind), and watched kids playing outside in t-shirts and slacks, and in sleeveless dresses.
(outside temperature +13).
You see, all the people howling about the fear of the planet overheating live at some far more tropical latitude than I do, and in terms of degrees to the poles, I'm just a little over halfway there (48th parallel).
Which means there is a buttload of land north of me that will be considerable more suitable for human habitation, with tens of thousands of lakes, timber on some of it, outrageous unoccupied green space, provided the climate gets just a tish warmer. For people who don't like the heat, do what people here who can't seem to adapt to cold do. MOVE!
After all,
Much of the reluctance to do what climate change requires comes from the assumption that it means trading abundance for austerity, and trading all our stuff and conveniences for less stuff, less convenience.
It's nice to come in and get warm, but the people who live where it's "too hot" want us to live on a colder planet, when all they'd have to do is move to a colder clime.
There is no Right to haunt the beach with your junk in a cheesecloth sack.
If you're too hot, put on some shorts and move north. The planet will be just fine.
