People do, in general, if they’re healthy, acclimate to the area that they live in. Fairly quickly at that. It doesn’t take more than a summer or two before people that grow up in Minnesota ore used to Florida, and vice versa
Exactly. Innumerable health issues can be worsened by excessive heat and heat injuries, like heat exhaustion or heat stroke. The reason heat is such a big deal is the capacity to get hurt just by being outdoors. Climate change absolutely plays a factor in this equation, because the subtropical states are reaching highs of well over 100 degrees. There’s no acclimating out of a heat stroke.
I’m not talking about climate change; I’m talking about individual adaptation.
Individuals don’t have control over the weather. You cannot reasonably expect everyone to adjust to the same acclimation as you.
