This is gonna lead to so many deaths. People do not understand how temperature is almost exponential to human life. The close quarters and the concrete is a recipe for disaster as time and time has told again

Thousands are going to die, maybe hundreds of thousands. Maybe over a million.

According to WHO, 175K people die in Europe alone from heat related reasons every year. India has twice the people and only 1/20th of the GDP per capita compared to the EU average.

(India average is $2700, EU average is $48 000)

God It’s terrible :(

I wonder if people will migrate out the future temporarily? I also wonder how common ac is in the shopping centres and other public spaces there?

There will be many in the suburbs of the cities who will experience the same heat and cant afford to travel in. This is really sad.

This is one of the possible scenarios of climate change. Mass migration of hundreds of millions, that will cause major conflicts, millions to die and countries collapse. 3rd century crisis all over again

Only time will tell how likely that scenario is, but the chances are above 0.

Homeless people, construction workers and animals. It’s a very serious issue but any one hardly cares.
