    Only people with AC (or deep basements?) would be save… as long as they have electricity.

    Makes me wonder what would happen in a mega city like Delhi, when the weather get’s lethal. Will people storm places with AC or will they be apathetic (like starving people).

    I hope we won’t find out! But at least heat shelters will probably become normal.

      Also, people with running water. The cold tap can get quite warm in some places but 38C, I don’t think so.

        Good point. I haven’t thought of that. Boy do I hope it will never come this. I don’t think the city’s water supply would last long.
