I hope our sexy Indian dude drama-friends are doing fine considering the current heat wave you guys are going through. But it's possible the 52 C recorded could be due to a faulty sensor.

Anyway, here are the people at /r/climatechange discussing the incoming collapse and total extinction of the sub-continent and eventually the whole world.

Someone calculated how long until a single heat wave kills a million people in India. It was surprisingly close like 1 decade away. India will be unlivable as a country soon due to heat waves and there will be billions of people fleeing the country. Unbearable is an understatement.

I can't imagine how they are coping. I live in Florida and my air broke over the weekend. It reached into the 90s inside of the house and it was miserable. I couldn't think straight and all I wanted was to just lay down under a fan all day not moving. My pets could not sleep at night it was so hot and humid. I think about all of these poor animals that will die this horrible death so one species's greed

Floridan dramatards, thoughts? I only went to Florida during winter, mild winter close to that of where I live.

I'm surprised India wouldn't be going all-in on renewable technologies/energy if they're starting to see temps above 125F. What is life going to look like in 2040? Millions dying from heat? I hope not

Yes. Exactly. People have modeled it and this is the future.

So, revolution when?

Climate change? :marseystonetoss#:

Some people are not having it

Turns out that the temperature reading we're talking about was anectodal, cherrypicked, false, and not even taken in Delhi:

Today in Delhi top temp is around 46 C, which sounds crazy hot to us westerners, but it's totally normal for the hottest days of the year in that part of India, and is expected to drop in the next days.

And here's more doom!

Ok. Let's assume emissions were immediately zero, right? The cleaner air will accelerate the speed of global warming. The rate has doubled since 2010 due to low sulfur bunker C ship fuel regulations.

Taking this example further… James Hansen and the team at Columbia University estimate that the current atmospheric composition would result in earth being 8 - 10 degrees CELSIUS warmer than today. It will take roughly 10,000 years of warming for temperature to equalize. It's an exponential function so the last 1000 years the temperature wouldn't change nearly as fast.
