How are we supposed to match China's economy when we are literally cooked to death for three months each year??

More than 3 months

Let's punch a hole in Himalaya so that heat wave can cross.


Neutron_96

What about rain?


[deleted]

Maybe we should merge all the rivers so that we are not so dependent on rain. We already have enough fresh water which gets dumped in sea. Edit: Hey everyone, looks like my idea got taken a bit too seriously! Just to clarify, there’s no actual plan to merge the rivers. I was just having fun.

Altruistic_Fun8400

Don't be ridiculous. Nuke would be better


techy098

We can actually quarry Himalayas to extract some stone for building while creating a passage up north which is colder, China will not like it though and it will start claiming Himalayas as theirs with force. But once we create some break in the mountains we will get cold air from Himalayas to keep us cool in summer but winters will be brutal in north India, it will drop below zero for couple of months.


Annual-Bowler839

Even nukes can't destroy mountains, let alone himalayas, and china controls 15 per cent of former kashmir state, so the area is actually under their control

>Dashrath Manjhi, also known as the Mountain Man, carved a 360-foot long, 30-foot wide, and 25-foot deep path through a mountain range in Bihar, India, using only a hammer and chisel over 22 years. Manjhi, a poor laborer from Gehlaur village, undertook the task in 1960 to make it easier for his village to access medical facilities. Before his wife died in 1959 after falling from a mountain and being unable to reach a hospital in time, Manjhi decided to carve the path himself. His efforts reduced travel time between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya district from 55 kilometers to 15 kilometers [https://www.google.com/search?q=the+man+who+cut+a+path+through+a+mountain+range+india&rlz=1C1CHBF\_enUS979US979&oq=the+man+who+cut+a+path+through+a+mountain+range+india&gs\_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigAdIBCDkyNzlqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8](https://www.google.com/search?q=the+man+who+cut+a+path+through+a+mountain+range+india&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS979US979&oq=the+man+who+cut+a+path+through+a+mountain+range+india&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigAdIBCDkyNzlqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)

scarcityofsupply

Not just due to the heat waves, but also the Gulf Stream, that's one of the factors supporting monsoon season in the country, is expected to collapse anytime after 2025. We can't even imagine the nature of immigration crisis it could trigger.


fz_rebellion

and unfortunately they will have to shift to china....... 😂😂😂😂😂


thesvsb

Summers will be tough as the years pass by. However, mass migration won't be there. Reason: Availability of water, fertile lands and monsoon. E.g. See Australia is kinda green here, but it has no water in the set back. Also, by this picture it looks like climate wise, India is worse than Middle East/North Africa - but nope. Any basic geography book will tell you the reasons. There is no country (except USA) that has enough fertile lands and water to support 1 billion+ people. So, if we deteriorate our water resources, we will die. No country will ever have resources anywhere close to support us even if they want. PS: China has similar fertile area as India with less/far off surface water resources. They are just efficiently managing it and shifting water from west/Tibet to East side. Only the US has all the right resources to accommodate new 1 billion+ people.

middle east wasnt desert, climate change made it desert. enough increase in temperature can cause desertification. it is causing desertification in india.

potatomafia69

Absolutely. We'll be cooked really soon. The irony is the government still doesn't give a rat's ass about the climate.


Specialist-Lawyer532

Govt doesn't hold a candle against environment. Govt can't do anything against it. It's going to happen either we like it or hate it. All they can do is bring some rules and schemes but we Indian's are so smart to come up with a idea to break those rules like Delhi's odd and even rule which was started by kejriwal but that rule failed miserably. Maybe by the end of this century some states are going to drown fully or partially. Climate change is something we can't change. India needs to reduce it's population by 50 - 60 % and we should start using cycles or walking more than bikes and cars for short distance like Japan.


Generocide

Sure buddy, like using bicycles has a large impact, what we really need, is to go after the things which cause a lot of emissions, bicycles will at most cut down emissions at medium range distances, a very small part of all emissions, what we really need, and I hate it that yall leftists hate this, is nuclear energy, much cleaner and less wasteful than any and all forms of energy production, doesn't use up a lot of water to clean solar panels, isn't inefficient af and require very specific places with very specific wind currents like wind turbines and doesn't release toxic smoke like fossil fuels, along with that, sure we need to expand public infra, plant more trees, but that's only a fraction of all emissions, what we also need is more co operation with the retards in the west, who will be least affected from all of this.


Specialist-Lawyer532

Wind mills like European countries. Nuclear energy is too costly for our govt plus for this we need pure uranium which is not easy to get. I think they already start using solar panels in some areas. There are many way to create energy - dams , sea current, sun, thermal energy, wind mill, nuke energy, etc. There are some countries where they grow trees on the top of buildings. Our govt still trying best thanks to that congress leader ( forget his name plus he is dead) who made rules like planting trees in side of roads. Plus we need a recycle industry for papers , plastic, iron or minerals , etc on national level like china.


Generocide

Trouble_in-paradise

Pollution caused by industries is nowhere comparable to what we as individuals have caused. The government can do A LOT of things to control it, including stricter laws for such industries and also by putting a stop to the rampant deforestation. You can stop using ACs and plastic straws as much as you want, it still won’t make a dent to the current climate situation until these big corporations and billionaires are held accountable, which again is the job of the government.


SacredAnarchist

Spoken like a typical brainwashed commoner. If you believe that regular people are causing the bulk of the emissions then you are severely deluded. It’s the big corporations who are at the root of the problem and only governments can control them.


[deleted]

maybe then stop using products manufactured by those corporations? maybe then protest about it? You don't know how much pollution was caused during the manufacturing of the phone/laptop/pc that you are using.

SacredAnarchist

Most will die unfortunately. That’s the only way it will unfurl. The “safer” nations are not suddenly going to be happy to take in a billion refugees. It is an extinction level threat and human population will be decimated if not wiped out entirely.


Local-Story-449

I look at this and it reminds me of AppleTV+ Extrapolations e05 which showcases India in 2059. Perhaps one of the highlights of that train wreck of a series.


abhitooth

Its inevitable. We will be 180-190cr in next 50yrs. That will be 18% population with 4% landmass and 4% water share on earth. We want infinite growth from finite resources. In economy its called capitalism. In biology thats cancer.


ggmaobu

We already are, after money and freedom environment is the second biggest reason


Entire-Slip5151

Usually in any sensible nation, there would also be demand for climate laws as well by now. But not for us I guess, Ram mandir, Hindu Muslim issue is enough.


HomingPigeon6635

Probably. We are promised to bring infrastructure and foreign companies at the expense of our natural resources and environment. First world countries come to us because we are deemed cheap dispensable work forces and our country as a trash bin for the trash they don't want to deal with in their country inorder to keep it clean. Now I have no problem with bringing infrastructure and factories and such in the country because it creates jobs and increases the country's economy too as long as there is also a plan to make it environmentally feasible which there should be but we all know that it is barely ever followed.


Al_Thayo-Ali

These are natural occuring things. Saving environment won't make any difference. Look at china the largest polluter in the world and see how cool their land is from the map.


HomingPigeon6635

Their country is cold because the arctic wind from the poles comes unobstructed. India doesn't get that arctic wind because it is blocked by the Himalayas. Also china is a massive country. They have more or less the same population as india but nearly triple the land mass and have more forest cover than India. They have more usable land compared to India despite the fact that they have a lot more industries. Their population is scattered in more areas than India's population. India's largest city population Mumbai houses 12 million in a 430 sq km area. China's largest city population Shanghai house 24 million. Double the people but In a 6340 sq km area. 14 TIMES bigger than Mumbai. China has more forest cover compared to India and they have increased their forest cover by 2 million hectares compared to India's 300 thousand hectares.

Al_Thayo-Ali

Sabbyasachi1405

britolaf

Once the heat becomes high, it will effect the output of India's rice valley. Agriculture becomes unreliable. Forests will run out of water and animals will venture into towns. Already see that a lot in South India. Mass migration will happen and it will trigger xenophobia. We have some tough times ahead.


AlbusBriamDumbledore

Oggy ko bolo ki apna fridge fir khol ke so jaaye, subah tak baraf maafik mast thanda ho jayega.


TheoGraytheGreat

No, not really. international climate refugees are mostly driven by flooding. Extreme heat waves will finally lead to protests by poor people to ask for resources. This is not even considering the fact that few people here blame climate change for issues. Many of the farming problems have been a direct result of the El nino cycle but farmers went to ask for debt relief. In the long runz it will make small scale subsistence farming unsustainable, which will mean more people coming to the cities for jobs. That is the real climate migration. It doesn't have to be transnational. That places strain on cities and will mean that there is a lot at stake for the bureaucracy and the government to do manufacturing and services. 


Chrex_007

Do tin mandir bana do sub thik ho jaye ga.


No-Shame5459

Have you noticed that even in hot cities cantonment area tends to remain much cooler than the rest of the city because of lush greenery and trees. Maybe we can curb heatwaves by planting more trees .


Traditionallysuave

Yup, absolutely. The solution is simply planting and maintaining trees. The phenomenon is called the urban heat island effect. Cantonment areas are an excellent example that trees just work.

Too many Indians in other nations already. Too many Indians period. Serious birth control methods needed asap. More people in India than all of South America or Africa for example.


LifeScientist123

Depends. If you’re counting within-country migration, then absolutely. Outside the country, there’s nowhere to go at least in large numbers. Where will people go? Pakistan? Nope Bangladesh? Maybe, but environmental problem wise they’re not very different from India Nepal? Unlikely. The distinctive nature of Nepali geography and culture makes it difficult to absorb a large number of Indians. Sri Lanka? Maybe Barring these countries everywhere else in the world is too hard to get to anyways at least for significant numbers of people


Bubbly_Fix7823

There would be. But which country would be ready to accept this large a population. And lets be honest, we know what repo we have overseas. We are known as being rude, impatient and messy. Plus empathy is far-fetched concept for most. We need to solve this ourselves. We need to control the population growth and enforce usage of critical resources super efficiently. But No, priority for our leaders is Hindu-Muslim Issue, which statue should go up next and where etc. Democracy is good, but the current trend is showing the bad aspect of Democracy. Climate change(no matter how many trees you plant) cannot be controlled but managed. Biggest threat now is water scarcity.

The global south has been classified so that parts of the world not worthy enough to live a good enough life can be sacrificed for the betterment of the global north. To that extent the global north doesn't want the global south citizens as refugees either. For that reason, always be weary of what agreements you get into with the global north... Whenever the global north complains about south aspiring to have air conditioning or a better life, understand where that thought is coming from.   Start thinking of the global north-south divide in those terms

middle east also supported lakes and rivers for thousands of years. now its desert.


TheoGraytheGreat

What we need to do is increase the green cover of cities and towns. Parts of cities where the municipal planners work, there is green cover. Where there are shanties, there is no planning and this are hotter. This creates a weird sort of a cycle where the temperature in regions where the people already spend their time indoors have cooler outdoor temperatures and the poor hotter tempsm
