But no, let’s cut them down to build one more lane, right?
Somebody reported this post for being off-topic, but it’s not.
yeah I mean the car is the parked car is what had the highest temperature.
The rationale being that we would have more trees if we didn’t have so many roads?
Not even roads, parking lots man, tons and tons of empty unused space
Not fewer roads (It’s still important to have good street grid connectivity and small block sizes), but narrower roads and smaller parking lots.
Never mind shade, anyone who’s ever ridden a bicycle from the country into an urban area will instantly feel the rise in air temperature. It’s almost unbelievable, like you’ve stepped into a different planet.
But it’s okay because cars have air conditioning. /s 😒
100% agree. Biking in nature feels so much fresher than in the city.
Cities are a hot oven.
I haven’t, but is it more than the diffference between fields and forests? Though forests aren’t just shade, the trees/plants also cool themselves and their surroundings.
It can be more. It can really be like hitting a wall in some cities, suddenly you’re on the shitside, the change is very sudden and very dramatic, lot more than from a field to a forest.
When water shortage is a concern a simple manufactured shade is a sufficient alternative. People can’t be expected to walk when it is over 40C under direct sunlight.
How was this measured?
It appears to have been done with a small temperature measuring device.
oh interesting. This was hard for me to see. I wonder about the car that’s stopped in the road, though. Did he really go measure it?
Edit: also, the high up on the side of the house
I think it’s just parked on the side of the road?
Im surprised the blacktop and what looks like dark gravel was less than the relatively lighter brick.
Spoken by someone who’s never been to a place that doesn’t naturally have trees.
Need to plant more trees.
“Lane”? Do you have any idea how many green spaces and trees are being destroyed to build WEF “densified” condos everywhere?
If the road is 48°C, so is the parking lot lol
It’s the metal/glass of the car, not the parking lot?
Holy crap 76,100 degrees 😱
Along the same lines are all the parks in my city that cut down large trees to plant small ornamental trees. Oh, want a bench? Nowhere near the trees. Yeah, I’m talking about you, Shoreline park! WTheck
And it’s always the worst ornamental trees
Please enjoy this one person bench with anti-homeless armrests on it so you can not sit next to your wife comfortably
This shows why replacing inner city roads with tree lined avenues makes a difference in city climate.
just one more lane bro, please 😩 it will fix the traffic for sure
We YEARN for the lanes.
Please also remember how hot that pavement can be for a doggos feet.
“We’re gonna pave over the grassy public/dog park for a parking lot, but you can still walk your dogs! Just buy these doggy shoes for when it gets really hot. Problem solved!”
But the beatles taught me it’s okay to leave your dog in a hot car
does that particular tree make money for some billionaire? if not it is exp
aendableWhen trees are on the verge of extinction, they’ll grow exactly one tree, lock it behind security, and charge us money to see it.
And say: "seeeee? Capitalism actually naturally breeds conservationism. Without the monetary incentive all trees would have naturally (and through no fault of our own) died out. This is why socialism doesn’t work.
I think they will probably make that a billionaire access only resource “fresh oxygen from a real tree”
