Got update on India heatwave situation from parents. Really bad though they’re in relatively cooler part. Temperatures seem to be 5-8 C hotter than anything I experienced growing up there.
Welcome to the future I guess.

Secondary goal: if you make it to X% spin a tale to aestheticize it
Interesting shift in last few years is how compounding climate news has managed to punch through noise of Trumpism, Covid, denialism etc. and set up an ominous background ticking noise growing steadily louder
