That only matters during the very brief period of manufacturing (which could be a lot better, need to start working with that roman concrete!). Heat island effect is continual but again, the city doesn't 'generate' the heat you feel, it's just concentrated in various ways.
In addition there’s now a version of concrete that absorbs CO2 from the air.
I heard a snippet about that a while ago and was pretty skeptical, not so much now. Thanks for the link. Good thing, if this tech works out, is that human pour ALLOT of concrete every year.In addition there’s now a version of concrete that absorbs CO2 from the air.
Concrete traps CO2 soaked from air in climate-friendly test
A California startup using rocks to soak up carbon dioxide from the air has teamed up with a Canadian company to mineralize the gas in concrete, a technological tie-up that is a first and they say could provide a model for fighting climate change globally.www.reuters.com
While interesting, I'd rather us get out of the game of pouring concrete all the time period and use concrete that heals itself and lasts for centuries. Focus energies elsewhere, stop screwing with traffic, etc.In addition there’s now a version of concrete that absorbs CO2 from the air.

Roman concrete heals itself, which is why so much of it is still around 2000+ years later.
Yes, I know, hence my earlier desire to switch to it entirely rather than a carbon capture formula that doesn't have self healing properties (unless they're one in the same and the article was shit/I missed it).
The pandering, stupidity, and ignorance of the right boggles my mind.Trees, everywhere, trees. A trillion trees! Who’s going to rake all those forests?
House Republicans propose planting a trillion trees
WASHINGTON (AP) — As Speaker Kevin McCarthy visited a natural gas drilling site in northeast Ohio to promote House Republicans’ plan to sharply increase domestic production of energy from fossil fuels last month, the signs of rising global temperatures could not be ignored.

This site estimates there’s 3.04 trillion trees now. I doubt anyone in the GOP ran the numbers.

Oh, and Pete should have the number 35 in his back pocket. As, over 35 Gigatons of CO2 are in the atmosphere. That retort would have made this exchange, weird as it was, even sweeter. [preindustrial era was ~5 Gigatons - Climate.gov]
If researchers could create some useful photosynthetic bacterial strain, it would suddenly solve this problem in one go. Or plastic eating bacteria that require CO2 for respiration.
Hell, people are freaking already about seeding the ocean with iron to reduce CO2 levels.
Could it be concerns about the effect the iron will have on Ocean life. Adding Iron to the Ocean does help in new Plankton growth, but is that really a long term solution to the CO2 levels that have skyrocket over the last 6+ decades and getting worse due to us humans?
Those declining levels of O2 are no joke. The entire world needs to get their act together and start planting trees, ASAP!
