Facing unbearable heat, Qatar has begun to air-condition the outdoors

12. Very unpopulated until HVAC and piped water. I believe

climate denial could not have occurred without attached garages.

I could live in the NM mountains. We love the desert. Our son moved to GA, so we have a winter place in Florida instead. Very nice, thogh. We're eating seafood salad on the patio while people up north are inside with bowls of squash soup. Summer's the killing season, but half of that 72' mobile home is shaded almost all day by a giant old live oak, and that's where we AC if we go down there in summer, not the large pretty sunroom that isn't shaded.

It's, amazingly, still common for people to cut down and refuse to plant trees because they don't want to rake the leaves. By far the best heat control is to stop the sun's rays before they hit the building, something anyone who walks into shade on a hot day could understand immediately if pointed out, but instead air conditioning what amount to sealed ovens baking in the sun is still SOP.

That'll change in large part. Where people have the water to keep trees alive.
