Neighborhoods with more trees and green space stay cooler, while those coated with layers of asphalt swelter. Lower-income neighborhoods tend to be hottest, a city report found, and they have the least tree canopy.
The same is true in cities across the country, where poor and minority neighborhoods disproportionately suffer the consequences of rising temperatures. Research shows the temperatures in a single city, from Portland, Oregon, to Baltimore, can vary by up to 20 degrees. For a resident in a leafy suburb, a steamy summer day may feel uncomfortable. But for their friend a few neighborhoods over, it’s more than uncomfortable — it’s dangerous.
It’s always correct to dismiss concern trolls.
So it’s bad for me to be dismissive but good for you to be dismissive. Fascinating double standard.
And I still don’t have the money to spend whether it’s $10,000 or $20,000. You clearly do. Enjoy your privilege of not being the over half of the people in the U.S. living paycheck-to-paycheck.
Yup. Definite concern troll behavior.
Pretending the worst prices in the most expensive place in the world for solar are normal. Then pulling the hostage shield politics card in a thread about public spending. Now crying victim.
Completely standard conservative reactionary behavior.
What are you even talking about now? They weren’t the worst prices. The worst prices were like $50,000. It’s almost like you don’t know what I saw, isn’t it? But you’re clearly the Flying Squid expert here.
And again, enjoy your privilege. Must be nice to be rich.
