Dallas is way too hot. The city says less pavement could help cool it down

"[Impervious surfaces] absorb 95% of the solar energy that hits them, raising the temperature around them. The goal is to encourage developers to incorporate more green space and trees, which […]

Decades of racist housing policies, like Redlining, forced Black families into neighborhoods w/ fewer trees, more pavement, & less green space —creating #urbanheatislands that stay hotter in the day and night.

Europe Endures Relentless Heat Wave

Europe is boiling. cities stepping up to adaptation like Paris in a better position than Rome - where little has been done to reduce its citizens vulnerability to heat deaths by shifting its ICE car-centric identity/ culture and increasing shade #UrbanHeatIslands www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/w...

At PSR PA, we’re working to build climate resilience—through community-driven solutions, education, and advocacy.
This is more than weather—it’s systemic. Let’s keep fighting for environmental justice.

#CERES Science and #DrWillieSoon who does a talk on #UrbanHeatIslands, #CO2 being the 'control knob' and the issues with that

As we told them, 70% of Earth is water so #GlobalTemperature is .. ambiguous and no data for the southern hemisphere

Fake #ClimateChange graphs and mentions #ProfessorBrianCox, blocked me when I explained how #CO2 works in aquatic environments

Placement of 'thermometers' might shock people.

#UrbanHeatIslands help skew things, rural areas, however, do not

Support retaining and planting trees in urban areas to help reduce urban heat islands. Areas with trees in cities have shown as much as 8-12 degree F reduction compared to treeless areas with lots of hardscape and asphalt. #urbanforests #trees #urbanheatislands #climate #tippingpoint #climatecrisis

Planting trees in the wrong place can make cities hotter Trees cool cities during the day but can trap heat at night due to their canopies. Effects vary by climate, tree type, and placement.

Seattle's tree ordinance is endangering trees, not protecting them | Op-Ed City leaders must uphold promises of preserving Seattle's urban forest by revising the tree ordinance.

It's amazing to me that a city that is in a once forested area can be so bare of trees. And developers are the problem...
