Daniel Moser🌡 Time for a reminder that adding shade & vegetation 🌳 to urban environments helps to reduce the urban heat island effect massively.
A super important tool to keep cities cool during the summer.👇
your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦BUT HAS TO BE RIGHT KIND OF TREES @dmoser don't do what New York City did during the Bloomberg administration.
Instead of re-introducing native species, the city only planted trees they thought would be easy to maintain and most of them are female.
so we now have pollen-related health advisories when everything is covered in a green dust that leaves many in the hospital with asthma attacks or even anaphylaxis.
it's infuriating.
LOSING BIODIVERSITY is at the root of the climate crisis

@DavidM_yeg @dmoser oh, it's the males, not the females? thanks for the correction. it's horrible. my kids and i suffer from asthma and allergies and it's there have been years when we had to stay indoors.

🐧DaveNull🐧 ☣️pResident Evil☣@dmoser But cars! What about about cars?
How can lazy-ass car drivers can park less than 30 cm max from their final destination wherever they go, if we start caring about climate change instead of continuing to destroy all urban trees in order to transform all non-concrete road parts of all cities into fucking gagantic parkings and damn pedestrian/cyclist-hostile roads for cars ?
plinio@dmoser I LIVE IN THE CARIBBEAN AND TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT.
Dylan 🏳️⚧️💛🤍💜🖤@dmoser I feel this is a lesson @ludwigshafen_de should really take to heart
@dmoser Wow! "Fantastic!" as The Doctor used to say.

Temps were lower when I saw that meme last time 😅

climate voter/degrowthist@dmoser Also, remove asphalt by shrinking the width of roads so that no cars can pass.
RBRATSPIES@dmoser I wrote a book chapter about urban trees a few years back. Fascinating stuff.
Cookiefiend@dmoser I bought a house 20 years ago and planted four trees on the property. One didn't make it; two provide shade for the front yard and the street. Not a day goes by that my neighbors don't suggest that it would be tidier if I had the big shade tree cut down. It drops leaves. It's so messy. Etc. Meanwhile, they pave their front yards and use gas-powered blowers to clean them.
Dr Sally@dmoser We are looking at the "mini forest" idea for our local area

A movie clip with caption: The power of urban trees.
Then movie is split in half vertically and shows a city street on both sides.
The left side has no trees and has an air temperature of 40 degrees Celcius and a asphalt temperature of 46 degrees.
The right side has trees and has an air temperature of 32 degrees Celcius and a asphalt temperature of 34 degrees.
VulcanTourist [MOVED]I live in a so-called "City of Trees", yet our living space cannot host a tree and the city arborists won't even give us one of the trees that they otherwise give away. Some parts of the city have a inviting green canopy, but not the shunned areas where the city greedily took developers' money and city planners had no comment on their treeless projects. Class bias is just as institutionalized as race bias. The wealthy get trees, the poor do not.
Jens Schumacher@dmoser planting trees in the streets is something Sydney is quite good at. https://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/public-health-safety-programs/sydney-street-trees
