Scientists Say Much Of South Asia Could Be Too Hot To Live In By 2100

[Beet]

TORONTO, Aug 2 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Climate change could make much of South Asia - home to a fifth of the world’s population - too hot for human survival by the end of this century, scientists warned on Wednesday.

If climate change continues at its current pace, deadly heatwaves beginning in the next few decades will strike parts of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, according to a study based on computer simulations by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Key agricultural areas in the Indus and Ganges river basins will be particularly hard-hit, reducing crop yields and increasing hunger in some of the world’s most densely populated regions, researchers said.

Expect to see a lot of Indian immigrants to the US.

Which concerns me, given the animosity by natives we see with our CURRENT levels of immigration.

There's also lots of people who accept climate change and welcome it and want to accelerate it, to purge the world of poor/non-whites and end overpopulation.

I literally do not care at all.
