Comment on Why warm countries are poorerparent

Comments

As someone who grew up in a tropical country and has moved to a temperate one, this rings very true.

It is significantly easier to walk in 20C, 50% humidity than to walk the same distance in 28C, 100% humidity. You get lethargic really quickly in a hot humid area.

Every physical action just feels easier in a temperate climate than in a tropical one. Which is why air-conditioning is such a big deal - it lets you get temperate conditions in a tropical location.
