Week 6 Reflections

I was surprised at just how much the temperature difference can be within a city, and how deadly the results can be during a heat wave. I found the ways of mitigating this very interesting, the different technologies employed, both simple and more complicated. It’s an interesting cycle.

The problems affecting future food production were complex and the investigation of the inter-weaving systems and balances between population, food production and a shifting climate kept me delving into the subject. It was a good introduction to the subject for me.

There are a number of interesting website I found along the way…
