A study by Think City on land temperature showed that five cities in Malaysia recorded higher temperatures of between 1.64° Celsius and 6.75° Celsius over the last few decades, due to development and changing urban trends. On today's show, we explore not only the findings of this new study - which was done to get a snapshot of what some of our cities are undergoing - but to also discuss solutions to battle the effects of climate change and global warming.
