Honestly? It's a scary thought. One of the reasons I tagged this as #poverty is because I don't think it takes much stretch of the imagination to see how climate change could hit the global poor the worse of all. I really, really hope we find a way to safely and efficiently handle these kinds of problems. If they really will become more frequent and more severe, a lot of people are going to need a lot of help.Beyond the immediate human toll, we'll have to see if this becomes a trend both in Indian and globally. Climate change tells us we'll see more severe weather more often. Will peaks over 50 C become the new norm? How will people cope?
