Countries across South and Southeast Asia are suffering under intense heatwaves that started in mid-April and have only intensified even before the official start of summer. The extreme heat has claimed the lives of dozens of people across the region and upended the livelihoods of farmers and fishermen. Schools have been forced to close to protect students.

This heat, will directly translate to rising food price in several months. It already happened last year, now it is repeated again.

[@LeMaoLeDong]

It’s already hitting thailand

[@hughw2377]

Yup, with crops not growing and drying up they'll be less food for people to eat, it's going to get really bad soon

[@user-bi8ko7kc6h]

Food price isn’t the worst part, the worst part is some areas might need to import food otherwise they may not have enough to feed everyone.

[@freeheeler09]

Lone, food, water, medical and energy prices will all rise because of increasing demand and decreasing supply. And cross border water wars will increase. And, as prices rise, tipping points will be crossed. Productively will decline and disease and poverty, and as the heatwaves get bad enough, mortality rates, food and water insecurity, then starvation, then civil unrest, then water wars will increase. We cannot allow fossil fuel companies to continue to buy our politicians and make them ignore the harm caused by their products.

Well, this should not be a problem if there is no petrodollar agreement. To satisfy the demand on petrodollar, the USA has shifted from train to anything that needs petrol such as cars, motorcycles, commercial jets, plastics, etc. The result is environmental damage to the world. Even nowadays, to compete with China's EV, the USA allies have given massive tax to EV and benefits ICE car manufacturing.

[@MuffHam]

The Sun is in a solar maximum that means its hotter than normal and is shooting off solar flares more than normal. When the Sun is in a Solar Minimum you get low temperatures. For instance the Medieval period was a Solar Minimum and has also been called a mini ice age. The Sun effects earth far more than any human activity. Dose Human activity harm the environment yes. But its mostly done by corporations and governments on large scales. People just living there every day life do little to effect the environment.

I can´t tolerate 25+.

I remember from my childhood I experinced 30 °C for the first time in Croatia when we went to the sea on holidays. Now we have 25 °C on some days in f-ing APRIL, and 35 °C or even more, like around 40 °C, in the hottest days of summer. And the worst part are the warm nights when the temperature doesn´t go down. Sometimes it remains around 27-30 in the night too, so it´s impossible to cool down the heat. But "iT Is a MyTh AnD HoaX aNd NoThiNg DanGeRoUs Is HaPpEnInG". No, nothing dangerous except of people dying from overheating, and I´m 100% sure that will be my cause of death too one day because I already have heat strokes every year.
