Soak up these rainy days. They are not going to last forever.
Summer will be here before you know it, and if recent trends continue, it will likely be a hot one.
Globally, 2016 was the warmest year on record. Here in Los Angeles, temperature records were shattered last summer during scorching heat waves that saw highs of 100 degrees for five days straight.
If you think the city is too hot, you’ve got company at City Hall. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti agrees, and he wants to do something about it.
As part of a sweeping plan to help L.A. live within its environmental means, Garcetti has pledged to reduce the average temperature in the metropolis by 3 degrees over the next 20 years.
The mayor’s plan to cool the region won’t compensate for all the effects of climate change.
“We can’t geoengineer the atmosphere,” said Matt Petersen, chief sustainability officer for the office of the mayor.
But Petersen believes we can do something about the way the city traps heat. By counteracting this heat island effect, he hopes to reduce the amount of warming L.A. will experience in the future.

Make it mandatory for evrybody to run their air conditioners with their windows and doors open.
it’s got to hurt being that stupid
This is what political power, ideological uniformity, combined with and lots and lots of printed money and debt looks like
What a pathetic joke. LIBs are lunatics.
They should suck up all the hot air those liberals spew and blow it out to sea with giant vacuum tubes!
Big city, lots of people who drive everywhere on loads of concrete roads.
Come back in a few years. This will have been a complete failure.
Fake News.
Most summers are hot. Gezzz. These global warming freak are globalist and their supporters are mental cases. They’re a national embarrassment.
Hey, I get cool here by sitting under a tree. So my recommendation (for free) is to tear down all the buildings in downtown LA, plant a lot of trees and mandate all the people must sit under them during the day. Problem solved.
Giant fans.
If they’re serious, switch to white or highly reflective roofing on every building, and use nothing but concrete for roads and parking lots. This will only serve to minimize the “heat island” effect of highly urbanized areas. It will not change the climate. If they want a different climate, they need to move.
My wife wants to go to the sun. I said we can't It's too hot. She said we can go at night.
create artificial snow 24x7.
For crying out loud. OMG! 5 days straight over 100! World will end any day. Warmest year on record!
We’re all gonna die!!!!!
Run for the hills, or the ocean or something.
Just raise taxes and the summer will be cool.
Seems I recall Jethro Bodine trying to convince Jed Clampett to invest in giant fans, but that scam was to suck the smog out of the LA Basin.
Cut the city loose from the mainland and drag it to a higher Latitude. Duh! Do I have to think of everything?
Eric-— That’s why people go to the beach.
Please make the transportation system workable.
