We get brief summers in all the seasons now thanks to climate change

It’s the UV that is the issue not the heat. Unless climate change shifts the tilt of Earths axis, your likelihood or receiving the rays will be more or less the same per season.

You're right about the seasons remaining the same but climate change does have an effect on the clouds in the sky, meaning climate change does effect how much uv-light reaches the surface of our planet, despite the earth continuing to rotate around itself and the sun in the same way.

It also affects how little can escape back out.

It was more a joke about how we can go out in shorts a few weeks in every season now because of the extreme microclimate changes.
