In the '90s I survived summers in Egypt with no AC. How would it feel now?

    Cute comic, but I don’t like the message. It completely dismisses how much injury people are sustaining from climate change by others, and blames the coping strategies on the people. And it does it in shitty ways, like encouraging travel. Are you just going to leave your job because it’s hot? And you’re encouraging this as an alternative to AC because of emissions, like traveling doesn’t do that?
