A short article by Kurt Cobb on the heat wave out west and why this type of event is likely to become the norm.

Reading up on how the romans and ancient egyptians handled heat. The latter with damp mats at the entrance to a home and the dry arid wind would blow over it cooling a bit. The romans (rich anyways) had water from the aqueducts flow through pipes in the walls to lower house temperatures. both used terra cotta pots which are porous to cool an area. (at least based on my small research !)
