I don’t think any of us really understand how quickly collapse can happen:

> About 85% of the country expected to see highs of at least 40°C
> Almost 40% of the country’s dams below 20%
> 40% are between 20 and 50%.
> Mexico City (Population 22.51 million) forced to reduce water supply as reservoirs that feed city dry up.
> Stores running out of mineral water.

India's deal with the devil.

Heatwave drives Delhi’s power demand to historic 8000 MW peak https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/power/heatwave-drives-delhis-power-demand-to-historic-8000-mw-peak/110347501

Where does most of the electricity come from in an attempt to stay cool?

285 coal power plants.

Resulting CO2 emissions👇🏻
