Preface
The hot summer is coming, and in the past, many people liked to swim in the pool to cool off, and even if it was hot during the day, it would be a little cool in the evening.
But now the weather is getting harder and harder year by year, and now it has just entered May, and the beginning of summer has not been long ago, and the temperature is already very hot, and I dare not think about how hot it will be in the future.
Today, the global temperature is rising, and India is facing a huge challenge in the face of rising global temperatures.
Although India is located in the northern hemisphere of the earth, most of the climate belongs to the tropical monsoon and the whole territory is very hot, but in the past the average temperature in Indian summers was around 35 degrees Celsius.
And now looking at the temperature in India, we can find that the temperature in India has been above 40 degrees Celsius for several days in a row.
According to the Meteorological Observatory, the maximum temperature in the Delhi region will remain around 42 degrees Celsius for the past two days, and it can even reach an astonishing 45 degrees Celsius this weekend.
In Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, the maximum temperature has also remained around 43 degrees Celsius in recent days.

Now India has entered an extreme heat wave weather, and many parts of India have issued red high temperature warnings, which will undoubtedly bring a lot of disasters to India and other countries.
Some scientists believe that climate change has caused India to be unusually hot this year, and that this year's heat wave will last longer and be more intense than usual.

Seeing the extreme heat in India, coupled with the fact that the summer on our side has been getting hotter and hotter in recent years, I think this should be a warning to all mankind.

Hazards of high temperatures
The harm of extreme weather such as high temperature to human beings is undoubtedly huge, and it will pose a serious threat to human life and property.
I remember that in June last year, the temperature in India continued to rise, and the temperature in the Odessa region reached 47 degrees Celsius, and it continued for some time.
According to incomplete statistics, more than 160 people died in India last year due to high temperatures and extreme weather.

That's a staggering number, and this year's scorching heat came much earlier, so India could once again experience an unprecedented crisis.
According to the data, air temperatures reach or exceed 35 degrees Celsius or more.

The body temperature of our normal people is relatively constant, the body's heat production and heat dissipation can achieve a dynamic balance, and our body's ability to regulate temperature is also limited.
If you work in a hot environment for a long time, it will cause the body temperature to rise, which can lead to dehydration, heat stroke, skin diseases and even heat stroke in severe cases.
Heat stroke is the most severe type of heat stroke, and when someone gets heat stroke, it can cause problems such as high fever, impaired consciousness, damage to multiple organ systems, and even life-threatening.
The mortality rate from heat stroke is high, generally between 20% and 70%, and can be as high as 80% in patients over 40 years of age.
In the mainland last year, there were many deaths due to heat stroke due to high temperatures, so everyone must pay attention to prevent heat stroke in hot weather.

High temperatures can not only cause diseases in the human body, but also cause natural disasters such as fires.
Remember that last year, forest fires broke out in many countries in Europe due to persistent high temperatures, and the economic losses caused were immeasurable.
There are also many areas in the mainland where cars spontaneously combust due to hot weather.
I remember that last year, the temperature in some parts of the mainland hit new highs, and this year it feels hotter than usual, so I feel like this year will break the record again.
So what should we do in the face of such a heat crisis?
Protecting the environment
In the face of extreme weather, protecting the environment is a top priority and is the most effective way to turn the tide today.
The extreme weather we are facing today is inextricably linked to global warming.
Global warming brings not only the frequent occurrence of extreme weather, but also a series of problems such as rising sea levels and the destruction of ecosystems.
These are not just crises in one country, they are challenges for all life on Earth.
Some human activities are the main cause of global warming, and what we can do now is reduce carbon emissions.
We can adopt more energy-saving measures in our home or office places, such as using LED lights, energy-saving appliances, reducing the time of using air conditioners, and adjusting the temperature of air conditioners reasonably.
We can choose greener ways to travel when we go out on a daily basis, such as choosing public transportation, cycling or walking, etc., and try to reduce the use of private cars, after all, car exhaust is also an important cause of global warming.
In addition, some of our companies can use more environmentally friendly energy sources, such as solar, wind and other renewable energy.
The most important thing is that we need to plant trees, increase green vegetation, and absorb carbon dioxide to mitigate climate change.
When it comes to afforestation, our country is at the forefront of the world.
According to the news, in 2023, the mainland has completed 59.97 million mu of afforestation, 65.685 million mu of grass planting and improvement, and 28.575 million mu of sandy and rocky desertification land.
According to Zhang Wei, director of the Department of Ecological Protection and Restoration of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration, "we have completed a total of 1.68 billion mu of land greening tasks, and the national forest area and forest stock have maintained 'double growth' for many years."
China's planted forest area has reached the world's first, and a quarter of the world's greener area in the past 20 years has been contributed by China.

As can be seen from the satellite cloud image, the range of earthy yellow on the territory of our country is shrinking, and the area of dark green is gradually increasing.
All these are inseparable from our great working people, and it is precisely because of a generation of people who have planted trees day and night in the desert and on the Gobi Desert that we have achieved what China has achieved today.
They are well-deserved heroes, salute to them.
epilogue
Extreme weather is becoming more and more serious, it is like a ruthless killer, silently harvesting our lives and living space, protecting the environment, and improving extreme weather is imminent.
India's unusual weather has been a wake-up call, and if we don't pay attention to it, today's in India may be tomorrow for all of us.
So let's work together to save energy, reduce emissions, and protect the environment.
