New research highlights the growing problem of extreme heat in urban environments, with studies revealing significant contributions from traffic and underground transit systems. One study developed a module to incorporate traffic-related heat emissions into climate models, finding it increases urban temperatures by up to 0.4°C. Another paper analyzed subway systems in Boston, London, and New York, using internet data to assess thermal discomfort underground. AI
