Preparing for an interview on the current heat wave a couple of days ago, I was startled to find in a Lancet report that over 46,000 people over the age of 65 had died of heat stress in India in 2019. And temperatures are now expected to rise to 47 deg C ... #ClimateCrisis

Been reading dire climate stuff for 15 years, but some prognoses, like this one from an IITM report, still make my stomach lurch. "Wet bulb temperature around Ganges, Indus basins .. approach and exceed 35 deg C by the 2070s under RCP8.5, an upper limit of human survivability".

... in a vast region of the Indus and Gangetic plains where hundreds of millions of working people earn their livelihoods outdoors, this is a threshold that may be breached if we don't move quickly away from a business-as-usual emissions trajectory ...

... and 35 deg C of wet bulb temperature is a threshold for the extremely fit and young. For the elderly, infirm, weak, or those with varied illnesses, fatal thresholds may well be lower. When will we - and governments in turn - show the urgency this situation warrants?
