Facing unbearable heat, Qatar has begun to air-condition the outdoors

Let’s burn this place up!

I'm surprised they don't just cover and enclose more of the streets if they want to keep them cool.
|
Do they not know how air conditioning works?

Definitely no need for outdoor a/c here in the UK, no need for it indoors in homes either in most cases.
We do sometimes have outdoor heating though which is probably just as wasteful of energy and makes Greta Thunberg's blood boil. This kind of thing you will see at bars or private houses sometimes to heat up the outdoor air. https://www.clifford-james.co.uk/ima...HeaterG150.jpg |

Maybe they should try underground cities.

They should go with swamp coolers instead. That's what they do in some places in Shanghai during the summer, and it's quite effective - and far less wasteful than outdoor A/C.

To compare, in Phoenix, swamp coolers and misters aren't too effective July - August when the average dew point temperature is 55 degrees. Doha dew points: http://qatar.climatemps.com/humidity.php Phoenix dew points: http://www.tiggrweather.net/wxdewpointdetail.php |

:uhh: Almost feels like they’re intentionally making the issue worse...
|
Eventually it will just become too hot to live in places like Qatar. Climate change is going to cause a whole lot of refugees sooner or later...
|
in california they use high pressure misting systems for eating outdoors over in la quinta.
that place is hotter then California? why do people live there? ya put the city underground then. |

Canada feels about as full as the U.S. Canada is really more like Chile, in terms of human settlement. It's as urbanized as the U.S., and the cities are generally built tighter.
I mean, yeah, 90% of Canada is empty, but those areas generally have little purpose outside of resource extraction. If you added 100 million people to Canada I doubt the geographic scope of settlement would change much; it would still be "Chile". |
