Does High Temperature Really Affect Productivity?

High temperatures affect economic activity in a measurable way, says Adam Sobel. Studies show that as temperatures rise above 27 degrees celsius, which is 80 fahrenheit, productivity declines measurably for every degree of increase. We see the same from evidence a comparing public schools in the united states between a counties where the public schools have air conditioning, and the poorer counties. So it does make a huge difference to our ability to to function and to think.
