A record-breaking heatwave hit Delhi this week, hot on the heels of heat in Asia and Africa. Australians take note, we are not safe here. We need to prepare for heat to hit us just as hard.

    Remember all of this is so that the ultra rich doesn’t have to be inconvenienced by having slightly less money

      The ultra rich:

      “Over my dead body will I yield 1/32 of my 145 billion dollars!”

      I couldn’t even imagine how I’d spend 50 million. A house. A couple cool vehicles maybe? Some fun trips? Ok I still have a significant amount of money left over.

    Don’t forget that it only takes more than 35 degrees Celsius of wet bulb to kill any human in ~6 hours of exposure.

    Once air reaches certain humidity levels during a heat wave, it becomes impossible for us to effectively cool down - the sweat simply won’t evaporate from our skin.

    Stay safe, harass your local politicians, advocate and for and demand climate action, eat the rich.
