Given the detrimental health impacts of heat, I think governments should establish a "right to cool," similar to the right to drinking water. Humans have adapted to their environments so this may not have been necessary in the past, but as climate change occurs, those environments may get warmer faster than people can adapt, and we may see large numbers of deaths and illnesses unless we do something.
