Getting a Shovel and digging a hole in the ground to stay cool enough in Summer and also warm enough in winter might be one idea of how to survive in the future.
For example, I can see countries near the equator more and more sleeping underground during the day to stay cool and coming out ONLY to work at night at their jobs. I think this is happening more and more around the world otherwise people without Air Conditioning tend to die in the heat.
Dying is relatively easy in that you cannot think at a certain point to save yourself and then if someone else doesn't save you you die.
Having lived in the desert where it can get 110 to 125 in the summers I know just how potentially fatal this problem is for people visiting the heat who don't fully understand this.
It's true that the dry heat of places like California, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada and others is more survivable than humid heat. But still, if you are thinking you are going to walk 5 to 10 miles in 115 to 125 degrees it's very possible you won't survive this (especially if you are not used to living in the heat all the time).
It's presently at 6:20pm Pacific Daylight time, 100 degrees Death Valley and 98 Degrees in Palm Springs. However, I have been at "The River" which is a mall near Palm Springs when it was 100 degrees at midnight after leaving the movie theater there with my son when it had been 120 degrees during the heat of the day. It is unimaginable unless you have experienced this first hand.
