By 10:20pm, North Kansas City 85° and perspiring from just driving, the population barely over 1 million, in less than 70 miles of latitude.
As a scientific experiment, if it were at all possible, I would like to be able to scoop up the 3 most populous cities in the USA in their entirety, population, buildings streets and what little useful infrastructure they have, to a depth of 300 feet, much like transplanting a large tree, then deposit them in the most remote region of the sub-Saharan desert. Then record any changes in atmospheric conditions in the regions where the cities were removed and where they were deposited. Of course, I would place them about as close to one another as you would plant radishes in a garden
_- If my experiment worked as well as I think it would I would then grab the rest of the top 20 and deposit them next to those already in place.-
