re: London is melting and it’s your fault

I don’t know how to convert Celsius so frick em.

Convenient timing with civil unrest building across Europe over climate change policies

I’m starting to wonder if government can control the weather to an extent

Maybe they should move the gulf stream.

They don't know what hot is.

My grandmother, 90yo in 1980 (one of the hottest summers ever in Texas) lived in Medina Texas her whole life with nothing but an attack (attic) fan.

Pussies.

Edit for spelling because of my strong Texas drawl.

Such a dumb comment.

Attack fan? Do you have to get a permit for one of those?

My Texas southern drawl gets me in trouble on these phones.

Plus not proofreading. Is what it is.

Not back then.

U.K. braces for record heat as it becomes one of the hottest places on Earth

Maybe they should have thought about the effects of all those skyscrapers and modern buildings with facades of glass with special coatings to reflect most of the sun's heat away from the building.

quote:

Glass technology has come a long way over the years.

In the past, windows were tinted to keep the heat out but this also blocked out a lot of the useful visible light.

Nowadays there’s spectrally selective glass coatings available that allow far more of the visible spectrum through (light) while blocking non-visible parts of the spectrum that carry heat.

These new-age products have facilitated a huge leap in building energy efficiency – not to mention the amount and quality of natural light in offices – with the top end products capable of a light-to-solar gain (LSG) ratio approaching 2.5, letting in almost 2.5 units of light for every one unit of heat energy.

Without this, it wouldn’t be possible to have windows of 2.7 metres or higher in buildings.

The flip side of this is that the heat doesn’t disappear. When the sun hits the window at a sharp angle, according to Alex Kobler, sustainability section, manager and principal of Wood & Grieve Engineers (now part of Stantec).

“It’s like skipping a rock across water” and most of the solar energy is often deflected down into the urban scape, Kobler says.

quote:

---

Fully glazed façades, especially with reflective treatment, behave much like mirrors, and therefore during the central hours of hot clear-sky days will deflect most solar radiation downwards, towards other buildings or the street pavement, which are typically made of asphalt concrete and absorb 90-95 per cent of solar radiation, releasing it as heat (thermal radiation).

Some solar heat will go into the building, through the glazed windows, but the remainder will be deflected towards other buildings. Depending on factors such as the facades of other buildings and the width of the street, there’s potential for heat to become effectively trapped in at street level.

Of course, just because all these people who are just now paying attention to the effect of glass skyscrapers on city heat effect were also championing those same skyscrapers not long ago because they had energy efficient appliances and green space and other stuff.
