The DMG should of course give advice for adjusting XP to PCs.
The same as throwing animals against druids and rangers or undead at clerics and paladins.

That is the idea. For example the warforged form Eberron settin is a living constructs, it can live without air, food or air, and go to explore desertic zones without those supplies.
Or the uldras, a PC race from "Frostburn", a soucerbook about cold zones. They endurace better the cold..

3.5 had a series of books that went into pretty great detail about the hazards of some more treacherous biomes (Frostburn for cold environs, Stormwrack for the sea, and, uh, the desert one whose name escapes me). While they did contain an unprecedented quantity of quantitative mechanics for various hazards, I find the more qualitative descriptions at least as useful, especially regarding the various magical and otherwise fantastic sort of terrain features that might be encountered in those environments in a magical world.

One of my all time favorite books is the Wilderness Survival Guide by Kim Mohan. That book could almost be published right now as a 5e book. It's not that edition specific. I'm sure there are some things of course but there is so much goodness in that book. It's great for this kind of stuff.
I think though they could steal stuff from that book and elsewhere and make a campaign setting book called - custom or homebrew etc... That would be pretty awesome.

A wilderness survival guide, or even the random events table from oriental adventures that includes natural and man made events would be good, or use the link below if you are a dragon lance fan. www.dlnexus.com/weather/

While I'm very much against a codified collection of rules for disasters and conditions, I do like that they are around and some discussion that lays out some conventions we can all use would be very useful. A chapter in the DMG, at least, a sourcebook for each environment at most. I really enjoyed the 3e approach.
