...exasperates me that these solutions haven't been adopted elsewhere en masse.
The only thing I saw on TV a year or so ago were Spanish architects trying out new building designs to have a passive cooling system for buildings, like the #Windcatchers.

...That said, there is a lot we could do, apart from #PopulationControl, rethinking building construction (e.g. using #WindCatchers*), but first and foremost, a #SecondGreenRevolution, using a combination of #Agrivoltaics and #WaruWaru:

Yes, here is how it works in more detail.
#Iranian #windcatchers are a great invention. π
A great example of an ancient technology being adapted to present-day #Low-energy houses.
Yes, but they need years to grow.
Adopting time-tested desert-housing architecture with #WindCatchers for zero-emissions, passive air conditioning is much faster.
No air conditioner? Need fresh air for the hot days?
Also take a look at this amazing #windCatchers from iran

One more thought on #windcatchers: those ones in RL were designed to cool buildings.
To utilize such a windcatcher to collect water line described in #dune, the building (or natural formation) needs to cool down the air to make the water condensate.
So the windcatchers in #dune would work "the other way round".
