Is, uh... is climate change no longer a real problem?

That is an extremely uncharitable take. OP is clearly saying climate change is an issue, but is not particularly relevant to the issue of human sleep.

Makes sense, I think I interpreted your original comment differently than intended as well.

The fact that heat stress affects different populations with such different impacts is super important to climate policy and diplomacy and geopolitics. The authors in this case identified a concrete, statistically sound demonstration of disparate impact of heat stress.

That’s something I wish I had emphasized in my top-level post.
