Why is Wuhan called a stove?

Wuhan is called a stove because there are many rivers and lakes in Wuhan, a large amount of water vapor evaporates, and the whole city is shrouded in clouds of hot air. On the one hand, it slows down the radiation speed of geothermal energy into the air, on the other hand, it makes it difficult for the human body surface to dissipate heat, just like washing a sauna, sweating and sultry.

With the rapid development of industrial economy, the unprecedented burning of fossil energy such as oil and coal, the emission of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, the price reduction of cars and the change of lifestyle, more and more people buy cars instead of walking; Coupled with the popularity of air conditioning, these are releasing a lot of hot air into the atmosphere.

Urban population, high-rise buildings and dense roads. Concrete and asphalt pavement make the solar radiation heat up rapidly, and the heat island effect becomes more and more obvious. The temperature of the city is rising gradually, and more and more "stove" cities are emerging. This is also a realistic example of the rapid change and warming of the earth's environment caused by uncontrolled human activities.

Extended data

"Furnace" Wuhan is no longer so hot;

The green coverage rate in Wuhan is nearly 40%, with per capita green space 10 square meters. The vegetation in the city is like a huge green air conditioner, which constantly cools the city.

In the context of global warming, there are many factors behind Wuhan's farewell to the "stove", but the increase of urban vegetation is indispensable. Green plants absorb a lot of air heat and carbon dioxide through transpiration and photosynthesis.

Green space is directly related to the sustainable development and basic carrying capacity of the city. Wuhan has successively formulated a series of local laws and regulations, such as Wuhan Urban Greening Regulations, Wuhan Basic Ecological Control Line Management Regulations, and Wuhan Urban Green Line Management Measures, to hold the Green Line as the urban ecological bottom line with an iron fist.
