recall the 1st few chapters of Ministry for the Future… ~25m die in heatwave in India.
The study is a easy read.
one of the recomenedations: “Our results highlight the need for enhanced electrical grid resilience and support a more spatially expansive use of tree canopy and high albedo roofing materials to lessen heat exposures during compound climate and infrastructure failure events.”
which makes me wonder again why roof coverings are always black or dark? likely cheapest if tar-based shingles, so obvisou. but what are cost savings of a white metal roof or orther material ?
