I disagree. I have a dome that opens on my Pacific yurt and they definitely make a difference when you need to vent the yurt. They only open about 8 - 10 inches or so, but you will find in the heat of the summer, that 8 inches dumps a lot of heat. You will also find that should your yurt get damp, such as when tracking in a lot of snow or water, venting the moisture via the dome extremely handy and prevents mold.
