"Urban heat islands occur when cities are hotter than surrounding rural areas. This happens because buildings and pavement absorb heat. The article mentions that cities have been growing rapidly. Scientists are concerned about this problem. Some solutions include planting trees and using reflective roofing materials. The author also talks about how air conditioning makes the problem worse because it releases heat outdoors. Overall, urban heat islands are a serious environmental concern that requires attention from city planners and residents alike."
