I was therefore thinking of ways that we can help farmers now and during those heatwave occurrences and I have a few ideas. As I've mentioned in previous emails that indoor skyscraper farms are prudent and should be commonplace in each city. This is the best option to be able to secure food production in every climate and should act as a backup in case of disaster or climate shift. Additionally, we should start erecting cloth canopies over farmlands that allow enough light in for photosynthesis but block the bulk of the heat from getting through. This will help outdoor workers to keep the surrounding areas cool but also keep crops from scorching. Additionally, similar canopies can be erected over cities, connected at the top of skyscrapers like mosquito netting but for heat rays. This will help keep from heating up sidewalks and pavements and help keep skyscrapers cool as well to not only help with the heat but reduce the cost of cooling units. Finally we should create something similar to a moister evaporator from the movies to trap moisture like a city wide de-humidifier or a series of them across the nations. Then you can clean the water and use it for city infrastructure. These were a few ideas that I was having and wanted to share to help future generations combat heat and humidity so we call all thrive now and in the future, together.
