50℃! Extreme high temperatures in India challenge the limits of human survival. India may no longer be livable after 2050

If the distance between the earth and the sun was not just right, there would be no suitable temperature on the earth, and then there might not be the birth of human beings. Therefore, for us humans, the suitable temperature is very important.

As summer is the hottest period of the year, many people say that 35 is already too hot, but this is a piece of cake for India.

Many people may not understand how ridiculously high the high temperature in India is this year. Starting in March, India began to experience high temperatures, and then the northern and central regions experienced the hottest April in 122 years. The average maximum temperatures in the northern and central regions reached 35.9 and 37.8 respectively.

At the same time, India’s neighboring country, Pakistan, was also unlucky to experience persistent high temperatures. After May, the high temperatures continued to intensify, with the highest temperature in some areas of New Delhi, India reaching around 49 degrees Celsius. , approaching 50, causing many people to die from high temperature and heatstroke.

Moreover, since the end of April, several fires have occurred in India due to the spontaneous combustion of garbage caused by high temperature weather, and each time has become more serious. Think about it if you were in an environment of 50, what would you most want to do?

Of course it is air conditioning. Without air conditioning, such a high temperature is simply fatal. So if you want to have air conditioning, you need electricity, and about 75% of India's electricity supply comes from coal power generation. , at this juncture, misfortune never comes singly in India.

According to news on May 1, coal reserves are running out in many regions in India. In order to alleviate the power crisis, India has also canceled the passenger services of 753 trains. However, To no avail, the power crisis remains unresolved.

In addition, relevant departments in India have also actively taken other measures, such as sending drinks to citizens by volunteers, dispatching vehicles to provide free water and drinking water to residents, etc., but they still have no effect. big effect.

Another point is that India, as one of the world's important grain exporters, was affected by sustained high temperature weather in advance during the "grain filling period" of wheat, resulting in a large reduction in grain production. Therefore, in order to ensure that there is sufficient domestic grain supply, India Food supply, India can only announce a decision to temporarily ban wheat exports.

In recent years, everyone should be able to feel the frequent occurrence of extreme weather, such as heavy rain events in Henan, super tornadoes in the United States, and India, which is closest to us, is suffering from extreme high temperatures. All this makes us confused. What is happening to the earth?

Since India has a typical tropical monsoon climate, to put it simply, this climate is characterized by high temperatures throughout the year. The year is divided into two seasons, dry and wet, with drought causing death and waterlogging causing death.

In short, the temperature in India is high every year, but this year's India is a bit unusually hot. According to the latest research, the extreme high temperature weather in India may be related to global warming. In fact, not only the high temperature in India this time, but also the frequent occurrence of extreme weather in recent years are inseparable from global warming. It is obvious that global warming is occurring There are more and more extreme weather events, which shows that the problem of global warming is still getting worse.

The main cause of global warming is frequent human activities, such as the deforestation of trees, failure to care for the earth's environment, etc. The inducement is the massive emission of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide since the development of industrialization.

It is not difficult to find that once the issue of global warming is involved, it will endanger human survival, because global warming means rising temperatures, causing glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise. At that time, rising seawater will Coastal cities will be flooded, and climate warming will also lead to frequent extreme weather. The extreme weather in recent years is the best proof.
