We would get very hairy, again; and endure Leno's jokes about the situation.

The only reason we would get hair is if people with more hair survived better, that wouldn't be the case though in the modern world. I wish it were, then I'd be ahead of the curve.

We'd be really cold all the time and our balls would probably fuse into our taints.

Well, assuming that resources become scarce enough, only those that are intelligent or strong enough to control the few resources would be able to keep them for themselves, and would posibly force those that aren't productive members of society out to fend for themselves. In that case you'd probably see a general increase in the intelligence and physical resiliency of the population, but I'm not an expert, it's just my best guess...

Seems there'd be serious short-term problems with food production. People would starve to death and kill each other over food.

Wind power would take off like a bat outta hell!

We'd have to farm indoors, and cities that are mostly underground (like Toronto) would become the norm.

Towards the equator and build up and down.
