It's highly problematic when you have bodies that can't transmit their heat because everything in their surrounding is at the same temperature. Last year I was amazed how the heat from the street was on the verge of melting my cheap shoes.

People laugh but I think cooling/heating shelters in the urban and retiree homes are unavoidable in the immediate future. Well, the alternative is to let the heat play the role of the grim reaper.

Unfortunately I think you're right.
