minus-squareAggressivelyPassive@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down1·1 year agoCities are already about 5C hotter than the surrounding countryside. Adding this increase on top, means 7.5C. 4OC in the countryside is already bad, 47,5C in the city is deadly for a lot of people. I think you underestimate, how deadly heat can be: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature
minus-squareribboo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoWouldn’t those 2.5C already be included in cities being 5c warmer…?
minus-squareAggressivelyPassive@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoNo, since most cities are not fully air conditioned.
