Scientists at The University of Manchester have developed a new way to measure how traffic contributes to rising urban temperatures, revealing that everyday vehicle use can play a measurable role in making cities warmer.The researchers created a new physics-based module that allows heat produced by urban traffic to be represented directly within...
Look I get the point people are making about cars but the basics of this is just stupid. Things that generate heat contribute to the overall temperature?!
Next they’re gonna tell me the widespread use of air conditioning heat pumps also generates heat island effects!!!
Yeah, cities have been heat islands for millennia. This is just another thing on the pile. Plant trees, put solar on roofs, use waste heat for building heat (in cities is basically the only place this makes sense).
