- codersfocus 3y agoIf anyone has seen the TechIngredients / CodysLab videos on cooling surfaces that can bring temperatures lower than ambient, maybe these could be manufactured and passed out to the homeless there? Very sad to see people baking alive there.

- citrin_ru 3y agoPassive cooling plant is not exactly cheap. Most cities are heat islands - they are hotter than surrounding areas because of low albedo. One can increase albedo by using white paint whenever possible. It bugs me that even in hot US cities people care about questionable aesthetics of dark colours more then about mitigation of heat waves.

- RetroTechie 3y agoAnnoying how much press this gets vs. similar situations elsewhere. Street asphalt turning liquid in places in India? Earth's largest rainforest turning into savannah? Places in Middle East becoming uninhabitable? Crop failures due to draughts in sub-Saharan Africa? Maybe a small report somewhere. Or primarily on science outlets. But record temps in Spain, US or other 'western' country? Holy sh.., disaster! And every news outlet jumps on it. 1 poor farmer dying from heat in India = equally bad as 1 US person doing the same. And (apart from describing their situation), homeless person or wealthy citizen is irrelevant.
