A new fact I learned today and which doesn't make me any happier:<p>'Survivability was based on what is called "wet bulb temperature" -- a combined metric of humidity and the outside temperature.<p>When the wet bulb reaches 35°C it becomes impossible for humans to cool their bodies through sweating, hence it indicates the survival temperature for humans. A few hours of exposure to these wet bulb conditions leads to death, even for the fittest of humans'<p>More info : <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature</a>
If you have to ask, then the answer is no.<p>Ideally avoid news about India from CNN,BBC,...<p>Most of these journalists have never set foot outside of their hotels in Delhi or Mumbai.<p>Travel 5km outside of urban core and India remains the same as it always has been. It's a tropical country so of course its going to get warm.<p>What has happened is really awful urban planning with zero account on the laws of thermodynamics. So you have European style urban heat effect from concrete but worse since its India.<p>The solution is already in the pipeline with insane growth in solar power.<p>As climate change heats up ( pun intended ) India is not going to be the biggest loser here due to the monsoon. It gets more rainy and the weather stays stable overall.<p>The most destabilization of weather is going to happen in Russia, EU, Canada, Australia and North America. So please try to fix your own backyard first ( since you guys shat your pants in the first place anyway ).
