India’s heat waves are attributed to a combination of short-term weather patterns and long-term warming trends fueled by human-caused climate change. Residents in India’s sprawling capital are often particularly affected, because dense buildings, roads, cars and air conditioners contribute to urban heat, experts say.

    it’s hard to do more than nod and say “that makes sense” when we’ve been trending this way for awhile and it’s been acceptable by so many to question or ignore the warnings

    Blame elders, blame leaders, blame people of faith. Blind faith has no business in a world full of consequence

      I’ve worked outside in -50 before … but that’s vastly different than +50. If it’s cold = put on more clothes. But hot like that … you can only take off so much.

      I don’t envy anyone who lives close to the equator anymore.

        It’s crazy. At that temperature, moving air makes you hotter.
