Since I don’t want to link over there, and I want to illustrate a conversation about studies showing humans prefer 11-15C with a peak at 13C.
Locally, it looks like green is a good approximation for cold areas where agriculture is still possible. Ideal temperatures would then be gold, with yellow being on the warm side and red being hot.
11-15c is preferred? Yet living in a house with average temp under 18c is harmful to health according to studies and the average recommended temp is 20c according to what I am reading across multiple governments worldwide.
So please, could you cite your source that ‘dying of cold’ is the preferred temp of humans?
Mean annual temperature, averaged across night and day, winter and summer. South-eastern Australia is one of the places with this average, based on my map.
Here’s one of the papers that came up, there’s also a Nature paper addressing present-day economics.
