I think that's a retarded, click-baity title for the article. Corporate greed, and energy consumption in the name of economic progress is clearly the cause of the issue.
Failure to tackle heat waves is another issue, you can cool down the outside as nearly as well as an office building.
After that, rules that have blatant disregarded for people working outside isn't racism, it's just not giving a fuck about others, and wanting to limit regulation in the name of cutting red tape. Lacking empathy doesn't make you racist, it's just being an asshole, plane and simple.
And they are correct.
My favorite fan fiction is Dreaming of Sunshine, by Silver Queen.
But there's also
The Howling Wind
The Girl from the Whirlpool
Black Cloaks, Red Clouds
Ibiki's Apprentice
The Sun Soul
In The Box
The first five are Naruto Fanfics. If you've never watched Naruto the only one you'll have problems with is Dreaming of Sunshine, the following three diverge from Cannon quite a bit, and tell their own unique stories that completely surpass the cannon. I highly recommend them, as they read better than some books I've read. Ibiki's Apprentice is a cute one chapter short, you'll find it funny.
The Sun Soul is a pokemon fanfic that once again diverges from the cannon quite a bit, I was a big fan, but it's been a while since I've read it.
In The Box is another once chapter short, it's a Firefly fanfic, it's cute and funny. If you don't like it, I don't like you.
You've clearly put a lot of thought into this, it's gonna be awesome
Holy fuck, Gabe you approve people super fast.
