Another cooling type of architecture is a form of wind channel. Maybe what Mark calls a solar chimney, but part of the centre of the construction, not a metal add-on.

I wonder whether either of them can also be used as water collector by adding a fine wire mesh where moisture can condensate and drops into a basin for household use.
Such wire mesh water collectors have test installations on Portugals islands and somewhere in Tunesia or Morocco, places where fog or at least moisture in the air is a typical landscape feature.
It's very low-tech if the installation stands higher than where the water will be piped to.

Cooking and sweating also creates fog 😁 precious water.
But let's also remember: we in the rich countries don't have a budget left at all for built infrastructure. For fighting poverty, only poorer countries can still add built infrastructure.
By rights, we actually need to dismantle our office towers (full of workers in bullshit jobs, according to David Graeber) , univs, roads and hospitals, and send the material to G-South in order to give their populations a chance to come level with our wealth.

The surveys keep telling us that majority want to do something about #climatechange

Time to put your money where your mouth is - #China has brought down the cost. Buy/install #solar #batteries #heatpumps etc. at cost to actually show you do care.

#Democrat states/cities enact new taxes to subsidize poor customers. After all the #wealthy got their tax cut right?

DOJ ends probe into T-Mobile’s $4.4 billion merger 2 days after the company committed to end DEI policies – Business Insider

T-Mobile said in a July 8 letter to the FCC that it would end its DEI-related policies “not just in name, but in substance.”

Editor’s Note: Shame, hate, fear –just like with Hitler– Trump’s racism attacking diversity, equity, inclusion in corporations, universities, our very lives.

7835 - The Medical Journal of Australia refused to publish an article highlighting systemic racism, based on weak allegations of a potential defamation case. That's erasure. And when we do dare speak out, much like Caitlin Moran did this week (3)

#NationalAssociationOfBlackJournalists isn’t inviting Trump 2 its annual convention in #Cleveland this yr, org has announced. Exclusion of the prez follows controversial appearance by then-candidate #Trump @ the event last yr, as well as a perceived snub against then-VP #KamalaHarris. The decision not 2 invite Trump also comes as his policies against #diversity, #equity & #inclusion actively harm Black journalists across country

A team created by #DNI [Russian asset] #TulsiGabbard has expressed a desire to gain access to emails & chat logs of the largest US #spy agencies with the aim of using #AI tools to ferret out what the admin deems as efforts to undermine its agenda, acc/to several people familiar w/the matter.
The mission of the Director’s Initiative Group, or #DIG, is to enforce #Trump’s #ExecutiveOrders to end “weaponization” of the govt & declassify documents & halt #diversity, #equity & #inclusion programs.
