Can you explain how populations of countries slowly creeping on routine 35WBT are supposed to adapt exactly?

I hope and expect they’ll consider dehumidification and air conditioning (which naturally “includes” dehumidification) as part of the adaptation strategy.

(I’m not suggesting that we give up on global warming, but if a people are facing 35°C WB, AC/dehumidification is going to have to be part of the answer, because the next 5 years of climate is already cast and the only other short-term alternative is “well, move” which is far less practical or empathetic.)
