    Tl;dw: Replacing pavement with green space (vegetation), trees for shade, and painting pavement and rooftops with lighter colors to reflect heat.

    All, in my opinion, relatively simple to implement compared to the potential increase in livability. A sea of pavement is depressing enough even before the heat illness and deaths

        AI is the new LMGTFY and people who use it as equally as ensuferable. On top of that you shared it as a fricking image.

          cool opinion bro 👍😎

          Edit: You angry little babies need to read some more uplifting news! I was just curious about the answer to the question, so I asked AI and wanted to share the answer I found. This is apparently a crime here at uplifting news? You all are projecting your own bullshit, I don’t deserve all this. But by all means, go ahead and keep downvoting if it makes it feel better.

      Narrator: Fortunately, our handsomest politicians came up with a cheap, last-minute way to combat global warming. Ever since 2063 we simply drop a giant ice cube into the ocean every now and then.

      Suzie: Just like Daddy puts in his drink every morning. And then he gets mad.

      Narrator: Of course, since the greenhouse gases are still building up, it takes more and more ice each time. Thus solving the problem once and for all.

      Suzie: But–

      Narrator: Once and for all!

    Ok, but lets get a better name.

    “Cool Block” sounds like a ban on cool people. Like if you show up, and you’re a really cool person, they’d stop you and say “WHOA! HOLD IT!!! WE HAVE A COOL BLOCK IN PLACE! LAME PEOPLE ONLY! You’ll have to leave! And take your 5 girlfriends with you! Your lifestyle of having multiple types of sex, with multiple people at once, is far too cool for us here!”

      Or it’s the cool block where the cool people hang out and you can be cool by hanging out there too

      Consider the overlap between people that are cool and people that are physically attractive. The city is too hot? Keep the hot ones out to bring the average down. Ez.

    They really need to be careful, though,
    they wouldn’t want to make it too cool for school…
