But no, let’s cut them down to build one more lane, right?

      I haven’t, but is it more than the diffference between fields and forests? Though forests aren’t just shade, the trees/plants also cool themselves and their surroundings.

        It can be more. It can really be like hitting a wall in some cities, suddenly you’re on the shitside, the change is very sudden and very dramatic, lot more than from a field to a forest.

        Yeah its way more. In a field the grass is reflecting alot of the heat, or using the energy for photosynthesis. In a city the asphalt literally works like a pizza oven. All the cement and asphalt absorb all that heat and get heated to insane temperatures, and then radiate that heat outwards all evening/night.
