Having little fur, not very well! When humans get cold they get goose bumps - making the hair stand on end; for more hirsute species this traps warm air and helps to insulate the body. In humans, it has no benefit - it is a vestigial affect of evolution.

In place of hair, humans use technology - shelters and clothing to cope with cold.
