Sexist Air Conditioning, Dutch Thermal Comfort Study

A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change suggests that office building temperatures are biased toward men's metabolic rates. Sky News and other outlets have framed the issue as "sexist air conditioning," arguing that women are forced to wear "emergency cardigans" in freezing offices. The hosts criticize the media's portrayal of the story as a "war on men" and a distraction from more pressing issues.
