Christ we're going to have to... well, we probably won't, but pedestrian tunnels in cities just to get them off ground level. Put them 100ft down where it's cool all the time.
Yah I was wondering about this the other day in a different thread. What happens to places like Las Vegas or Phoenix that are already insanely hot? Do they just become ghost towns? You won't be able to go outside if those areas all turn into Death Valley. Humans can only survive about 10 minutes in 120°F. What happens when it's 150° or higher?
Even if people plan on going underground during the day, I dunno how above-ground infrastructure will do. I think you start running into other problems like buildings warping or water evaporating through glass.
