Question
the urban heat island effect can cause increased greenhouse gas emissions and warmer storm water runoff. what else can the urban heat island effect cause? increased energy use decreased precipitation
The urban heat island effect leads to higher temperatures in urban areas. Higher temperatures mean more use of air - conditioning, which in turn leads to increased energy use. On the other hand, the urban heat island effect is more likely to cause increased precipitation (due to more evaporation and convective activity in warmer urban air) rather than decreased precipitation.
