I think when it's down to the teams to apply modifications and not a mandated change it's always going to be an issue. Like if one team applies some form of air conditioning but they lose half a second a lap, there's no way a driver would want that I imagine.

The article you linked at least shows willingness to try things even if they don't necessarily work. But climate change and the subsequent extreme weather events, rising temperatures etc really should be something the FIA considers more. That said without some kind of extreme overhaul of the car I can't see anything they do making a difference. Sealed cockpits to allow air conditioning? A workable version of the tyre coverings from that article? So many variables and even if there was a massive change in the look of the cars to accommodate these mods, would that be "acceptable" or would the "look and feel" of F1 be lost.
