Reducing Heat in Cities

| There are geo-engineering approaches that allow to reduce extreme heat. Essentially the idea is to have brighter crops in crop-producing areas and brighter surfaces in cities, since these reflect the sunlight better. Models have shown that this way it should be possible to reduce extreme heat by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius. The method avoids problems of methods such as putting sulfate aerosol injections into the stratosphere. |
