The heatwave demonstrates urgent climate impacts and unequal cooling access for marginalized groups, requiring stronger state intervention.

Restrictions illustrate regulatory expansion while private solutions like air-conditioned hotels prove effective.

“Limits of top-down measures and value of individual adaptation”

Libertarian

Alcohol bans and event cancellations substitute official edicts for personal judgment and voluntary market responses.
