To the editor: L.A. isn’t any stranger to extreme warmth (“As L.A. bakes, length of warmth waves is accelerating sooner than local weather change, UCLA examine reveals,” July 10). A easy process, comparable to getting groceries, all of the sudden turns into a lot riskier within the sizzling climate.

This summer season, I walked round downtown. Right here, I met a lady named Maria, who was ready on the bus cease. She describes the quite a few occasions she has seen others faint due to the warmth.

Darkish pavement is among the main contributors to trapping warmth. Asphalt might be as much as 60 levels hotter than the encompassing air.

Our state has beforehand experimented with coating streets with reflective surfaces. As a substitute, we must always attempt a less complicated resolution: timber.

Research present that communities with extra timber see a cooling impact. Bushes present essential shade that decreases the encompassing temperature.

Let’s work collectively and plant extra timber to make life in L.A. a little bit extra nice and hospitable.

Wesley Peng, Lengthy Seaside

..

To the editor: It’s apparent that our planet is getting hotter. Excessive-temperature data are being damaged all over the world. This UCLA report signifies that the warmth shouldn’t be solely growing, but it surely’s lasting longer. What disturbs me on this reporting is one researcher’s implication that the correct response is to adapt to it. Speed up adaptation planning, we’re advised, and plant extra shade timber, design buildings otherwise, go outside earlier within the day. Garbage.

Slightly than merely adapt, we should change the circumstances which can be creating the warmth. Each story about our world getting hotter ought to remind readers why it’s getting hotter. It’s easy. We now have put, and are persevering with to place, an excessive amount of carbon within the ambiance. The logical response is to cease doing this, to start now to part out burning coal, oil and fuel, and deploy as quick as potential available, inexpensive, clear vitality.

Robert Taylor, Santa Barbara
