of course trees are not a substitute for air conditioning. but, on a sunny day a street heavily shaded by trees is significantly cooler than the same street with no trees. this is true no matter how hot out it is
that's not to say that the heat under a trees' shade cannot still be oppressive. merely that shade matters, as the existence of two "RealFeel" measurements you shared indicates
- freddie_mercury 3y ago> of course trees are not a substitute for air conditioning Well the whole thread was something arguing they are. First post: "I love trees and want more of them in our cities, my only point is that they are not usually a substitute for HVAC" Reply: "I guess we disagree on what trees do well"
- kgermino 3y agoGoing back to the beginning what started this is a debate about whether trees cool cities. I don’t think anyone (certainly not me) has intended to argue that trees can replace AC, just that they make the city around them (including indoors in many cases) much cooler than they would be without the trees
