    I live in a place where this happens every other summer already, people unfortunately are so propaganda-ized or beaten they don’t care and deny climate change. This current heatwave is brutal, most buildings don’t even have ACs.

      I live in India where temperatures are quite high and run slightly higher each year. I also know quite a few people who believe climate change is a hoax and post that kind of stuff on Facebook, WhatsApp etc.

      I was talking to one such relative’s father recently and he was complaining that this guy turns the air conditioner on right when he comes to visit his parents and only turns it off when he leaves weeks later.

        Starting to hear similar conversations here on AC, older people remember being able to use a fan in a window during the summers.
