Why do we waste so much energy cooling the air around us when we could just cool ourselves?

[Anonymous No.11291772]

cooling the air around us is the cheapest method
people just have way too big living space

I developed MS-like heat intolerance when I was 13 or so. I thought of adding this to a game concept, essentially down some playthroughs you'd have to develop some kind of thermoregulatory system to function, one of which was a gadolinium refrigerant-like system with pipes permanently embedded in the skin.

An exoskeleton, or "smart" clothing would be a good base for systems like this.

We can cool air around us globally, investing heat temporary in water, having desalination units all near sea, and pumping the water up instead of rain, so it will evaporate on correct place to go critical wet over where it needs to bee.

How is that more efficient than just letting market demand take care of it? We have never build a true global system anywhere on Earth and I don't think we will for a long time.

Something that messing with your thermal perception can go horribly wrong. What can go wrong if it's 50° C but you feel like it's 18° C?

Why do we build cities that sprawl out and need individual hvac?
Why don't we build hive cities like insects do?
You can still customize the aesthetic with the same efficiency

Don't you think it's a good mechanism that your body tells you what's wrong?
