What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Low-friction candidate

Why
Free, open-source, official WRI/Google.org backing and live municipal use make it cheap to trial; methodological openness ('no one way to measure heat') means treat outputs as directional, not authoritative.
Next
Pilot a single-city data pull (download datasets per WRI's stated offline-analysis capability) and compare its heat layers against an independent LST/LiDAR source before relying on scenario outputs.
