How to combat extreme heat in urban areas | Future Earth | BBC News

[@yes12337]

There were many protests in Poland against removing trees and paving public spaces in cities. Trees are a part of the solution, but also using too much hard surfaces like concrete will increase the temperature and decrease water retention, which is bad if you have flash floods on the rise. There should be both trees and unpaved green areas wherever it's possible.

[@oson_qiyin]

Why don't you use Celcius for measuring the temperature

[@LaziaMedia]

That's true but when we study physics giving answer out we have write degrees Celsius

Literally trees. I live in the mountains and there’s a patch of trees growing over a large section of my road. When I pass that spot on my side by side it could be 100f out and 30° cooler under that canopy. You almost get the chills. Now I’ve planted 58 trees on my property. I’ll get lower temps and some nuts and fruits. My progeny will too.

[@vitaluna1568]

If climate warming is the problem, which it isn't, then trees the real solution.

[@MrFancyFingers]

97% of scientists from around the globe agree that man made climate change is real. No humans agree on almost anything at that percentage. There is no scam, only scientific facts that don’t need an opinion to be correct, the data is verifiable. Stop your silliness.

[@yes12337]

I did the same - planted several dozens of fruit trees & shrubs, but also I plant some more fruit and melliferous trees on the wastelands in my neighborhood, because I want to support the biodiversity in this difficult time.

[@petracollins8623]

Spot on. Everybody should experience walking from a paved hot area into leafy shade. Learn lessons from that. Young people and children as a life lesson.

[@JUDITHBEARD-v3f]

The cities have buildings, pavement, roads etc. which heat in the sun. I used to live 30 kms (approx 20 miles) out of the city and the difference between 15klms ( 10 miles) in the evenings was approx 15 degrees (about 20 degrees) on a hot summer evenings. Humans have constructed cities which retain heat and then it is called climate change. This is nothing to do with greenhouse gas.

[@komoriaimi]

The best solution is not letting it get to that point. That being said: Trees, trees everywhere, walkable cities.

[@TO-YA-LA-TOYA]

@komoriami Soon you going to have 15 minute walkable cities.

[@pursuitofmine]

Mr Ford lobbied US Gov to pave motorways interstate, disgarding plans to upgrade and extend existing railway systems across US which is most effective and efficientient for interstate better than individual heat absorbing mototways where shareholders a nd ceo of car companies and supply chain get rich.

[@dion789]

The Netherlands is so bad at this. With how overpopulated we are cities have been getting denser and municipalities have been more focused on removing trees from cities rather than adding them. Not to mention we barely have any nature left to provide shade. But it's great to see America actively taking steps to improve their cities.

[@QuynhAnhVu-kz2rz]

thanks for the BBC NEWS channel

[@victorhernandezbonilla8080]

Wonderful documentary. We need clever solutions and going on investigaring new ways of cooling our cities and public spaces.

[@djtenzen]

Let the trees regrow. Let the factories close.

[@SamanthaBaker8]

Too much Like right

[@cristianoaragao4315]

We can't stand this heat here in Sao Paulo Brazil 😢

[@ismaelspechtintuition3519]

Neither here in RS, south of Brazil. It´s getting scary hot. This video shows some interesting solutions. We have an innovation project here in our city and we´re certainly going to use this video as brainstorm.

[@erikpl6402]

Using Fahrenheit sigh, is it really that hard to add Celsius in brackets or the closed captions?

[@aquelpibe]

Right. As if the American audience is all that counts. I expected BBC to have a more international approach.

[@walv7952]

in japan we are facing extremely hot and humid summer. we should learn from this. our city is almost 100% concrete jungle.

[@TylerChristoher]

Living in Central City Phoenix right now. The hottest city in America. As soon as I can get enough money and make a plan I'm out of here. There's some nice things about this city. But one of my favorite passions is stream restoration and fishing. And not having any rain for so many years is depressing. It's just too hot for the AC in my car and apartment

[@Censortubes]

Stop building them? Or we acting like the concrete etc isn't raising the temps in city's? When it's been proven many of times.

[@nyedream]

Would it be possible to provide transcripts of these kinds of independent study?

[@annking1576]

How about building cooling towers in community buildings aka wind catchers, like the one's in other countries. Reduce your electricity consumption for a/c. Put them in schools or other community buildings for people to cool off if the grid goes down. Look into ancient windcatcher cooling technology. Also, there is the Persian ice house, or how to make ice in the desert

[@juancarlosdominguez9998]

[@QuynhAnhVu-kz2rz]

I know lots of things from this

[@SJknowledge605]

It's becoming to hot day by day 🔥

[@안재형-q2d]

It's really motivatng, and we need to keep finding better way to cool our cities.

[@Nenblackheart]

I think there are more actions we should start doing to cool our cities and planet, not just about planting trees, but also stop being compulsive consumers, save energy in all the possible ways

[@JUDITHBEARD-v3f]

Australia is tearing down trees and natural vegetation to make way for solar farms, wind farms and transmission lines. This will increase the temperature bearing in mind the extensive land clearing undertaken.

[@pursuitofmine]

The benefitters of compulsive predatory high capitalism and consumerism are reaping most wealth from this crazy world's excessive capitalism and will continue doing this no matter how unlivable the world becomes because they are least impacted since they can live in AC mansions water fountains with many servants or machines with the wealth which drives world into gorge.

[@pursuitofmine]

​@JUDITHBEARD-v3f How funny Gov individuals and the world we live in are 😂 lobbied by EV supply chain benifitter and misslead public to believe that is the way 😂 We are all fucked by billionaire club

[@thevikram00]

Less concrete and more trees simple

[@Pink7omy]

Ac and heaters are a huge problem. Also factory smoke and carbon emissions.

[@TO-YA-LA-TOYA]

@Pink7omy and private jets, a few mansions on various islands, private yacht like Bezos' the biggest one in the world. etc.

[@leonidojr.pretencio8526]

Yes I agree. But is living there is safe for foreigners and Christians.

[@kevinwong8693]

its the BBC. Use celcius goddamit.

[@igorfonseca27]

We do not need to combat extreme heat in urban areas, we need to combat extreme heat on the world.

[@MokaddashaChowdhury]

amazing documentary. lots of information , simple and effective solutions.

[@mdziauddin8110]

It’s very great news.I think that it’s a good documentary and a lot of pepole helpfully in neture

[@cooldeva008]

White paint can't solve problem of overall temperature because reflected heatcan again be absorbed in the carbon. So only sustainable solutions is we improve our environment with more trees.

[@saminhoss650]

"reflected heatcan again be absorbed in the carbon" Can you explain

[@rusbea.2279]

Fahrenheit isn’t world standard

[@RaniVeluNachar-kx4lu]

So more income don't make more people. That's not helping. Just put some nice drought tolerant plants in big pots on top of your house there and once or twice a month give them a liter or two of water. Even plants that make some fruits too would be great. Shade and Food Grown on your ROOF. And don't throw the leaves away. Put them on the dirt in the pot around the plant stem. Instant mulch and fertilizer too.

[@masteropretortrainer]

Thanks information

[@alicewood1665]

I wonder if there's a way to make asphalt a lighter color?

[@zohandocerrado5186]

For sure there is, because its color changes from city to city. Here in Ribeirão Preto-Brazil it black. In São Paulo-Brazil it is more grey.

A groundbreaking solution has emerged for the pressing environmental issue at hand. In Mexico, a remarkable invention has been introduced: an artificial tree that functions as a bio reactor. This innovative creation is equivalent to the environmental impact of 360 natural trees.

The summary of climate change is easy. It is the change of humidity in atmosphere, which produce between the (land)and the(seas & oceans) on the other hand... Occurring of rains, snow, storms, and floods at time and in unexpected places, confirm my theory(the change in the directions of winds)which must be balanced... How to reduce the heat of the earth and atmosphere? We must supply the earth with a natural cooling places... Results: ---------- 1- To balance the water vapor which produces between the( ground)and the(seas and oceans )... 2- To balance the pressures of the air in the atmosphere... 3- To balance the directions of winds which caused the climate change... 4- To control upon the storms and harricans... 5- To revive the the first theory of climate change (dynamic horizontal movement). 6- To balance the percentage of gases forming the atmosphere. NOTE :The lack of water vapor is of land not of seas and oceans... These studies had completed and sent on July 26th 2000... Yousif A Tobiya

[@reynaldocavalheiro3000]

This vídeo was really interesting. We should change our mind to the best future and respecting the nature. The climate change is a consequence of our mistakes. It's time to change now.

We must use the green methods, such as useing energy use, using green energy(Hydroelectric energy, solar energy, wind energy,...) for transport and plants more trees, trees breath in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. If we plants more trees, more CO2 will taken out, good for environment and produce the global warming effects.
