    India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Ghana host the largest number of cities with high risk scores, and more than 95% of the most at-risk cities are in South and Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Major tourist destinations and international business hubs, including Cairo (Egypt), Bangkok (Thailand), Hanoi (Vietnam) and Jaipur (India) are also ranked in the top 50. The analysis identifies the city of Al Basrah in Iraq as the world’s most at-risk.

      It’s honorable to recommend such a solution, but the reality is it won’t happen. India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Ghana are too poor generally speaking to do most of this at scale.

      Sure, they can and many have planted trees, but their CO2 outputs far exceed their plantings.

        Its annoying that this couldnt be packaged into an ethical microfinance business where the costs sre recouped thru less ac use or the cost of some other negative externality that currently makes being poor more expensive than the good pair of workboots

    My front yard is all sun.

    My backyard is a a shaded oasis. I have a few trees, lots of vining plants, and tall shrubs and other native species.

    The differrnce between the two on a hot day can be 30°F

    And the humidity level drops…precipitously.
