It's well known how to reduce the heat inside our cities - it's vegetation.
Lots and lots of vegetation, both within and beyond the city boundaries.
(a hint for texans: trees & shrubs, not grass or alfalfa)
- hoppery 3y agoHouston is literally a swamp, consider looking at a random street view image of any residential part of the city at some point. Vegetation doesn’t do anything for humidity, see: Southeast Asia, Subsaharan Africa. Texas has zero alfalfa production, you’re imagining the desert southwest 1000+ miles away from Houston in an entirely different climate.
- myshpa 3y agoYou're right, I haven't really read the article (paywall). I didn't know that Houston has average 75% humidity (as high as 90% in summer afternoons). That can't be good.
