No, I’m just calling out the implications of your assertions.
You say,
It’s crazy that you treat this as an insurmountable obstacle. Much less that there’s no political cache in surmounting it.
How do you expect to surmount the obstacle? Just give them A/C units in their open-air homes? Or replace their homes with something enclosed and insulated? If it’s the latter, how do you expect to do that without demolishing the existing structures?
Or do you mean to force them off their lands and put them somewhere else where you built new houses?
You seem to be doing a lot of work to try to justify your initial insinuation that global warming somehow won’t affect the global south.
You scoff at wet bulb temperatures as if you have some easy obvious solution. Well, this is what your “solution” looks like in practice.
Wow, you’re so skilled at missing the point entirely. Either you didn’t read any of my previous comments or you have selective amnesia.
When you call the A/C repair man, he doesn’t have to rebuild your entire house just to make it compatible with A/C.
Not to mention, you’re the one calling him in; not some imperialistic nation-state actor guilty of cultural erasure of virtually every ethnic minority group within their own borders.
You have yet to answer how A/C is going to protect people in open-air houses from the effects of climate change. This magical “China will save them” is a silly utopian fantasy divorced from reality.
You appear to be suffering from an Israel moment

When you call in the A/C repair man, does the technician steal your property as part of the installation/repair?
