Heat Waves Severely Burn City Residents
Doug McIntyre and David Callaway discuss a new lethal threat from heat in the U.S.: burns from extremely hot surfaces. In Phoenix, several incidents occurred where air temperatures of 120 degrees made asphalt reach 180 degrees. This poses a significant infrastructure problem, as urban designs can exacerbate heat retention. New York, for instance, experiences heightened heat due to humidity and heat-trapping buildings. In cities like Phoenix, people faint from the heat, falling and suffering severe burns from hot surfaces. The conversation highlights the danger to both people and pets, comparing the situation to frying eggs on sidewalks. Doug mentions a sign in a Florida marina warning of third-degree burns from walking barefoot on a hot dock. The speakers stress the urgent need for cities to develop solutions, such as cooler walking areas, to prevent such heat-related injuries.
