It is a common belief that higher elevations are naturally cooler. In pristine landscapes, this rule holds firm. But what about urban environments? Humanity moves vast amounts of matter and energy, sometimes fundamentally altering the thermodynamic parameters of our habitat.
🛰️ I correlated summer Land Surface Temperature (LST) data across Calgary’s neighborhoods with the Canadian Medium-Resolution Digital Elevation Model (MRDEM). The chart below illustrates the relationship between "Average Elevation" and "Average Surface Temperature" specifically for established residential communities. As observed, this relationship is notably weak, even though a slight cooling trend persists. Based on my data analysis, elevation above sea level is not a key factor in cooling the city.

💻 I took several completely independent datasets and "pitted" them against each other. One of the results is shown in this chart: the more "concrete" (roads, buildings, parking lots) my machine learning model identified in a community, the higher the surface temperature recorded by the thermal sensor.
🔥 The result: Data from different sources confirm one another. The difference in surface temperature between "green" and "concrete" residential areas averages 8–10°C throughout the summer. On certain days, this gap is likely even wider.
📉 This chart shows only established residential communities. If industrial zones were included, the trend would be even more dramatic. While modeling errors certainly exist, the overall physical pattern is undeniable.

Boston’s Food Forests Take Root as a Climate Equity Strategy
https://insideclimatenews.org/news/03102025/boston-edible-food-forests/
A decade of organizing has turned trash-strewn lots into edible parks. Now Boston is expanding food forests as part of its climate action plan.

Colombia’s latest eco-policies sideline indigenous women who’ve been stewards of the land forever. True climate justice would amplify their voices, not just elite NGOs. #ClimateEquity

In Europe #Heatwaves hit the most vulnerable. New study.
Heatwaves in Europe are on the rise, with 57% more people exposed to them in the decade from 2010 to 2019 compared to the preceding ten year period. In densely populated areas, the effects of these extreme heat events are particularly pronounced due to urban features that lead to what is known as the #UrbanHeatIsland effect. In fact, heat stress resulting from heatwaves is the major cause of climate-related premature deaths in Europe.

There is a case to be made for
#cilmateclawback:Corporations that enjoyed generous subsidies and tax breaks for #fossilfuel production, while in scientific knowledge that their actions would be the primary driver of #climatechange during the following decades of their funding #sciencedenial of #greenhousegas' effects, must be held accountable.
Civil action should have that money clawed back, and given for #climateequity solutions currently on the ground.

equitable triage?
#Liberals are not grokking this #ClimateEmergency – not seeing that when "every group gets an equal #climatechange relief funding band-aid," result is #extinction.
Band-aids don’t fix a gaping wounds.
Resources must be applied to stop the carbon-bleed-out now. Nothing else matters.

@Snoro Yup, the North will have to cut their carbon emission while we give some slack to the global south for infrastructure building, given the cumulative emission (hence the actual 420 ppm) are mostly from white skinned people.
