Apocalypse Now in India :marseyburn: :marseyfine:. Doomers cream their pants at the prospect of climatechange

https://old.reddit.com/r/climatechange/comments/1d3tnvd/heatwave_delhi_burns_at_highest_ever_temperature/

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.

https://theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/29/delhi-temperature-hits-499c-as-indias-capital-records-hottest-day

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.

:#marseypajeetitsover:

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.

We are F-U-C-K-E-D.

What? Where did he pull that 10 C warming?

I fled here this week.

Got this view from my glass wall room for 4 days straight. I wish I could stay up there forever.

Back in Dalli now but it's cooled down a bit

Are those mountains near Dehli?

My dream is to have an apartment in Bariloche (South Argentina) to spend summers there, the city is lovely.

I took that pic from the airbnb I stayed a couple of years ago, that's the Nahuel Huapi lake and the Andes stand behind.

Yeah like 500km away. An overnight bus. Best feature of Delhi

Lucky. Almost all the beautiful states here have laws prohibiting outsiders from buying land :marseytears:

What kind of shitty laws are those? :marseyconfused2:

Indians can't own property in different states?

States really are more like countries in most cases and I kind of get the point cause the whole state's population is literally half of Delhi so if rich people from gangetic areas start buying vacation homes there it'll be difficult for natives to survive. Also I really like the natives I don't want them replaced by gangetic scum. Its a real life high trust soyciety, even touts there are so polite. None of the pushiness of plains plebs.

Now kashmir otoh. Everyone should get to buy land and bear arms there.

Considering population size it makes sense I guess, I bet at least one state is close to 100 million people lol. In comparison Argentine provinces are ridiculously underpopulated, and as citizens of Mercosul all we need is to present documentation and prove we have the means to sustain ourselves and done, they give us temporary residency visas. No restrictions for foreigners to buy property.

A few accounts I follow on Indian twitter post pics of houses around the world and I still remember a full ranch with a few hundred acres land somewhere in southern Chile or Argentina cost less than a 2bhk in my city and I was just :marseyraging: I posted a vid of a 330sq ft flat in Mumbai yesterday, there was this hundreds of years old villa in Italy with wine cellars and everything that cost less :marseyseethe:
