if they're healthy

Exactly. Innumerable health issues can be worsened by excessive heat and heat injuries, like heat exhaustion or heat stroke. The reason heat is such a big deal is the capacity to get hurt just by being outdoors. Climate change absolutely plays a factor in this equation, because the subtropical states are reaching highs of well over 100 degrees. There's no acclimating out of a heat stroke.

But, again, this isn't directed at people that have health issues for whom heat is seriously harmful or fatal. My partner gets heat exhaustion and heatstroke very easily, despite having grown up in the south, and both of us currently living in the south. (We still manage pretty well without central a/c, but we live at a high enough altitude that it's only rarely above the 80s.)

What I see a lot of is otherwise healthy people that refuse to adapt to the environment that they live in.
