We shouldn’t accept climate change as inevitable or stop trying to effect change. That said, what sort of clothing is out there which might help as we feel more negative effects?

The main thing I’m thinking about is dealing with heat, but I guess part of the question involves a little forecasting about the types of challenges people will face in the future.

    That’s one “study” with one guy wearing different clothes one time. And the black outfit was noted to absorb more heat than the white outfit. It was seemingly postulated the extra heat was lost before being transferred to the one guy due to the clothes being loose and billowing in the wind or allowing hot air to rise through the clothing creating convection. They didn’t outright say, but it seemed like the white clothes weren’t as loose and flowing. Either way they very much attribute the “cooling” to the fit and not the color.
