Preface
Summer is coming, and with global warming, there are high temperature warnings in many places in China, but the current temperature in China is nothing compared to India.
India is in big trouble now, many people don't understand how hot India can be, many people don't believe that heat can give people heat to death, but the current temperature in India is indeed very likely.
Now that the highest temperature in India is almost 50 degrees, how do they spend their daily life? Why is it so hot in India? What has the Indian government done?
India is in big trouble
Hot weather is a big problem in India, because their high temperature is almost 50 degrees, and the maximum heat limit that the human body can withstand is 50 degrees.
According to the survey, the maximum temperature in New Delhi, the capital of India, was 46.2 degrees Celsius yesterday, while the maximum temperature at the Taj Mahal in Uttar Pradesh, India, reached 46.9 degrees Celsius, while other cities also exceeded 40 degrees.
It's only the beginning of summer, and India's high-temperature cities have become disasters, and they have really caught a lot of them, and the India Meteorological Department has issued a red warning for high temperatures.
Now India is like being shrouded in flames, and such high temperatures have also caused India's "drinking water difficulties", which many people will find incredible, after all, the problem of drinking water has not appeared in China.
But you have to know that India is experiencing such a bad heat, and in this weather, many lakes in India have dried up, not to mention the water that you drink every day.
It is very important to drink water in hot weather, not only to prevent dehydration, but also to avoid heat stroke, but the local people have no water to drink.
And the government has also thought of a way in this regard, that is, drinking water bells, if some residents want to drink water, they will ring the bell, and at this time the water trucks arranged by the government will appear, but this approach cannot fundamentally solve the problem.
But what is even more alarming is that India will be killed by heat this summer, because this is not the first time India has experienced such hot weather, in the past few years, India has experienced many deaths due to high temperatures every summer.
Not the first time you've experienced this kind of weather?
In April this year, China can be said to have experienced all the even extreme weather, and the Thai health authorities reported last month that 61 people in Thailand had died from the heat.
In fact, in 2019, the temperature in many parts of India hovered around 50 degrees Celsius in the summer, and eight of the 15 hottest places in the world at that time were Indian.
This is no exaggeration, and when foreign media reported on India, they also said that India is now facing the risk of approaching the limit of human existence, because the local area is suffering from a heat wave.
And because the temperature was too high at that time, many parts of India were facing the test of high temperatures, and it was actually okay to hide from the high temperatures, but the most helpless thing in India was that there was no place to hide, and the Indian people found themselves with neither money nor electricity now.
This can be said to have become a key point, in the past few years India has been due to the super heat wave has been the problem of large-scale power outages, and according to mainland reports, in India last year there was a shortage of coal.
All these problems have come together, so that local companies in India have to stop production or limit production, and all this has a chain reaction, we all say that the world is a circle, then so is the chain of survival.
India's chain reaction from power outages to coal crises and food shortages has led the Indian government to ban India's grain exports.
After seeing such an experience, many people believe that the Indian government is also very anxious, after all, so many people died because of the high temperature at that time.
But people didn't expect that the Indian government didn't care at all, and even asked people to participate in the commendation ceremony in 38 degrees Celsius weather, which is simply incomprehensible.
What's wrong with the locality?
According to the Stan Times, on April 16, 2023, the weather in India has reached a high temperature of 38 degrees, and on the same day, the award ceremony of the "Maharashtra People's Award" was held in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
The award was the highest award for the local people for their contribution to social welfare, and according to information at the time, the ceremony was supposed to be held in the evening.
This was reasonable, but the award ceremony was moved to daytime because the state home minister, Amit Shah, was also present at the meeting, and the federal home minister did not have time in the evening.
If it is really decided, it is okay to set up some shelters on the site, but the Indian government did not think of this, and everyone who participated in the event that day stood on the platform without shelter.
It can be said that the residents of India are also very powerful, and in such a 38-degree weather, the scene is still crowded, and there are even residents who go with their children in their arms.
The weather of 38 degrees was so sunny for a day, many people at the scene suffered from heat stroke and were rushed to the hospital, but the situation at the scene still did not improve.
By the next morning, 11 of the participants had been pronounced dead from heat stroke, while more than 120 had reported dehydration and chest pain when they returned home from the store.
Such an endgame itself could have been avoided because each state government would have its own experts and advisers, and when these officials held such events, they had the right to inform the officials not to come to the ceremony on such a hot dayday.
But they didn't, and 11 people lost their lives to heat stroke on this day alone, which is really heart-wrenching, but what people didn't expect was that this was not the first time such an incident had occurred in India.
This has happened before, but the local government has not changed its style because of such an incident, but has done so, and the Indian Ocean government still puts political factors first.
According to incomplete statistics, from 2010 to 2018, more than 6,000 people lost their lives in India due to hot weather, which is a terrible number.
And this year, according to the report of "India Recently", the Indian state of West Bengal is being hit by high temperatures, and a local hostess Sinha fainted while broadcasting the news.
This incident happened on April 18, and Sinha later explained her situation on social platforms, according to her own dizziness caused by a rapid drop in blood pressure at that time.
Despite feeling unwell before the news was broadcast, she tried to keep the news going until she fainted.
According to the video, after Sinha fainted, the surrounding staff also kept fanning Sinha, trying to relieve Sinha's discomfort, and according to reports at the time, many parts of India have been hit by heat waves, and even many areas in southern West Bengal have exceeded 40 degrees.
And many people wonder why India has been hit by heatwaves all year round, even for several years in a row.
Causes of high temperatures
The first problem of high temperature in India is related to the actions of the local people themselves, and we in China have a saying that you can't live if you do your own evil, and India is the answer to this sentence.
First of all, the problem of thermal coal consumption, with the rise of India's economy, India's thermal coal consumption has also risen, from 1996 to 1997 it was still 2.15 tons, but in 2001 it directly rose to 3.5 tons.
Until now, 70% of India's electricity is still solved by coal, but a large amount of carbon dioxide is released in the process of coal use, which I believe many people know.
When carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere, it causes a greenhouse effect, which is already very serious in India, and it is very difficult to survive in such hot weather, so you need fans and air conditioners.
But these modern technologies need electricity to provide, and India's electricity has always been insufficient, and because India has a tropical monsoon climate, long-term electricity consumption is also a high energy output for India.
And now in the period of global warming, I believe that many friends have personal experience of this, in the previous winter the ice on the lake can be on people, or even skate directly, but now the lake in winter is only a thin layer of ice.
This is also a major drawback of global warming, and India suffers the most from the "poor", because of the power outage, many local residents do not have the means to cool down, close to the river can also go to the river to wash and relieve the heat, but there is no river around the residents can only endure such heat.
In order to make a living, many Indians will still choose to work in such temperatures, which also increases the danger of temperature, whether it is day or night, the ground in India can be kept away from the existence, because the temperature of the ground is still around 30 degrees at night, and these residents generally sleep on the roofs of bungalows.
epilogue
India's current environment is caused by the Indians themselves, except for the regional location, and the emergence of global warming has affected all countries, and I hope that India will be able to weather the storm smoothly this time.
He also called on mankind to protect the environment and not end up with India in all regions.
