" are you sure? we humans are good at dense living, for every 1 human heat sources we lost 1/n wild mammal heat source, in my opinion with n larger than 5 and most likely >> 10. | |
| Apr 25, 2023 at 9:32 | comment | added | EarlGrey | @DavidHammen absolutely. That is way I state the increase in number of living heat sources has no tangible direct effect. There are all sort of indirect effects, the ones you describe and the one OP briefly and axiomatic introduced, such as "the winds carry quickly away the moist and the air that was refreshed by water evaporation." which I think it is wrong, as it is currently formulated (less moisture => more evaporation and therefore more cooling). | |
| Apr 25, 2023 at 1:03 | comment | added | David Hammen | Population growth results in larger cities with more buildings, more streets, and more parking lots. Population growth also results in more land being converted to agricultural purposes. While body heat is irrelevant, all of these and more do measurably contribute to climate change. | |
| Apr 24, 2023 at 18:58 | comment | added | Fred | The issue of population growth isn't so much about the heat more bodies produce, it's more about the activities people do that contribute to warming & how much this increases because of more people engaging in those activities. If you want to find the effect produced by warm human bodies it must also be compensated for by the loss of animals that have been displaced by humans, that once lived in areas now being colonized/invaded by humans. | |
