This is what I was thinking. In a city in the summer there might be almost as much indoor space as outdoor space at ground level. The temporary change in outside temperature would then be almost as much as the reduction indoors, right?
I don’t really have a good sense nor am I doing the math for indoor versus outdoor space or how rapidly air moves through cities. I still suspect this concern is largely illusory and another justification for the cult of pain. But I do want to think about the physics correctly.
