People in India are dying from the excessive heat (of course, it couldn't be global warming, now could it?)
"Temperatures are expected to continue climbing in coming weeks—pushing 122 degrees Fahrenheit—even though this summer is already the hottest on record for northern India since records began over 100 years ago. Lack of atmospheric humidity, the effects of last year's El NiƱo cycle, and hot, dry winds from the Thar Desert are to blame, according to the Indian Meterological Department." From Slate.com "The Slatest Edition"
This stuff is, I think, very scary. Yes, I know, we still have very cold winters in some places, and not every place is setting heat records, at least at this particular moment . . . but the question persists: Are we already too late?
