I believe a we have two options:

A: A 'cleanup' caste which metabolises harmful waste products.
or
B: Migrate.

To the South, wherever that may be. Should be warmer there.

This. Normally I would advocate cold places, but I sense an Ice Age.

Maybe we can make something like penguin feathers or seal fur to keep ourselves warm?

If the ice age hits lving in a cold climate will be to our advantage as the cold biomes will grow and spread while warm biomes will shrival up and die. Remember, we arn't livinfg in a spot we are living in a biome and they will be driven ahead of the glaciers rather than swalowed by them

The real problem is that we don't actually know if it's even possible to live in areas that cold in the context of the game. If it is possible, why not just evolve our bodies to work when extremely cold?

But even if we DO adapt to the cold, we should still look into a cleaner caste. Just because there are SO many potential applications for it down the line.
