KapitolaAbstrakt
The paper discusses three intertwined issues related to changing temperatures, behavioral adaptations and health. The first topic is concerned with extremely hot summers, and their impacts on people and vegetation. Passive indoor protection against heat waves is described, and the unhealthy practice of overly strong artificial cooling of buildings is mentioned. The second topic concerns the inhibitory effect that unhealthy high winter heating temperatures have on the creation and function of brown adipose tissue, leading to obesity. Comfortable and safe winter temperatures and humidities are discussed. Thirdly, two other causes of obesity are noted: sleep deprivation partly due to light-at-night and too appetizing animal-based food. All the recommended behavioral changes would contribute to the mitigation of global heating as well.
