Guest columnist notes hotter summers in Cedar Rapids after many trees were lost last August. Shade loss increases indoor temperatures, stressing aging AC systems and prompting calls for action as the city expects longer heat waves until new trees mature. The author cites prior HVAC planning based on outdated data and suggests a practical, though difficult, path forward.
