Ask Slashdot: Large-Scale DIY Outdoor Cooling of Cairo's Tahrir Square?

ClimateHacker writes "The struggle for freedom is still ongoing in Egypt and one of the many challenges that face the demonstrators in Tahrir Square is the sweltering heat. Skies are mostly clear and temperatures can reach up to 44 degrees Celsius (111 F) with hardly any shade. The risk of life-threatening heat stroke is quite real. I ask clever Slashdotters out there for novel DIY passive and active ambient cooling techniques. Perhaps some ideas could be a model for saving energy on cooling elsewhere."

Blame Israel for the heat as well. You'll feel much better immediately.

Israel planted enough trees that it changed the climate.
