the highest recorded wet bulb temperatures in the world occur in india, jsyk. in odisha, theyāve hit 34.6 degrees celsius. the human survivability limit is 35 degrees celsius but the body faces significant risks, potentially fatal risks, even at 30 degrees as it starts failing to cool itself, like iām talking organ failure levels of risk. climate change isnāt coming to peak, itās been in the global south where you canāt see it or feel it.
imagine temperatures that high and humidity as high as 75%āyou make more heat than you can ever cool. your sweat cannot evaporate fast enough. you literally boil alive. heat deaths in india are underreported and they already hit the thousands. there is no plan, for a nation of almost 2 billion people. no plan. nothing.
