Super interesting essay, especially as it's snowing in Berlin right now 
"Being against thermochauvinism doesn’t mean everyone should leave cold places and move to Phoenix. It means recognizing that we should invest in cooling at least as much (and probably more) than we invest in heating. Because the truth is that the foreseeable future is not about people abandoning cities like Phoenix en masse — it’s about more cities becoming more like Phoenix every year."
