People really out here acting like global warming is still an “in the future” problem when people are overheating to death by the thousands right now.
i do have sympathy for europeans going through a global heat wave right now i really do. the climate change that has lead to this is extremely serious and it’s alarming that many, usually extremely cold parts of Europe, are going through intense, out of character, heatwaves. these countries refuse to invest in technology to combat heatwaves and are in fact making it harder for their citizens to stay cool while people are dying.
what i do have a problem with is europeans pretending this is not a global issue. pretending that they are they only people suffering and that, in fact, they are suffering the most during this global heat wave.
i’ve been going to egypt during the summer for years, and, oftentimes, we didn’t have AC units. even more than that, the government would often shut down power in egypt for hours at a time, along with the many, widespread, random power outages that occur in egypt due to the lack of infrastructure as a result of colonialism. the government mandated power outages were sometimes given a set time where people could prepare-usually during the peak of heat in the area- but oftentimes they were not. that meant that they government would randomly shut down power during the hottest days of the year without warning, and this can be deadly. If someone were to enter an elevator on a top floor, for instance, as power was shut down for hours at a time, they would be stuck in a hot elevator for hours while they waited for power to turn back on- and this hypothetical is one of privilege. this hypothetical postulates that people would have AC, which isn’t guaranteed in the countryside and in smaller towns even when temperatures reach 50 degrees C in the south.
no power also doesn’t just mean no AC- it means no fans, no elevators, and no tap water.
india is also currently facing one of the worst heatwaves in its history, with delhi feeling like 53 degrees celsius. people are dying in large swarths, and yet, there is little to no media coverage about it. i’ve even seen some europeans make the claim that 48 degrees celsius(banda’s temperature for a full week) in india isn’t bad, because “they are built for that weather”, which is frankly disgusting and intensely ignorant. having homes “built for hot weather” doesn’t matter when you are outside for 8 hours a day making money for your family. it doesn’t help when you are walking 6 kilometers there and back to get food for your family in small towns. it doesn’t help when you have one water source in your small village because of the legacy of european colonialism has bled your country dry.
these cities are getting hotter. these people are dying. and yet, they are not getting attention or coverage because the media does not care about brown people dying the way they do white people. they do not care about these peoples lives and prefer to brush it off and ignore it instead of passing legislation to help those in need.
that is my problem with this discussion. this discussion is, as it always is, centered around europe and it ignores everyone else who is suffering.
Will never understand how we have to pay to live on a planet we did not ask to be born on.
I constantly see people talking about how prices of food and water and houses n shit are rising.. homeless rates are rising, stuff of that nature.
Guys. Wake up. We shouldnt have to pay for this shit in general. A literal baby was killed the other week because his mom was supposedly ‘stealing’ diapers.. (her friend who was also there had the damn receipt im pretty sure)
And i see people saying, “its just diapers, no one should be killed for stealing the bare necessities!!”
1st of all, no one should be killed for stealing in general.
2nd of all, no one should have to steal the bare necessities, nor at all.
3rd of all, nothing should have to be bought, especially bare necessities, SUCH AS,
Food IN GENERAL (yes all of it)
WATER
HOUSING
Etc.
Does no one else think is messed up how we have to pay for FUCKING WATER AND FOOD? On a planet where we didnt choose to be born? None of us? Just me..?
Its so fucked up that millionaires and billionaires are so rich and can just buy another mansion, have 6 fucking tennis courts, eat whatever they want whenever they want, and a 1 year old CHILD was just killed because his mom was ‘stealing diapers’.
Does that sentence not make you disgusted?
“Stealing diapers”
NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO STEAL DIAPERS. EVER.
Billionaires are allowed to keep scamming people and stealing money from poor communities, further fueling this late-stage capitalism we are in, making the poor poorer and the rich richer. And i’m supposed to sit here and let it happen? I mean, why not. Because every middle-class cishet white man is already doing it. Already thinking, “well trump said he was going to fix the economy.. no more wars”
Cant you see whats right under your fucking noses?
Is not that hard to just pull your head out of your ass and look around you. On the TV (not fox news, ew), on your phone. Go outside. Walk downtown. Look at all those homeless people, people starving IN their homes, people in Ukraine STILL being bombed, people in Palestine STILL being bombed, children in Sudan, Congo, etc, people in India dying because temperatures are reaching over 45 degrees C/110 degrees F, the Afghan girls not allowed to speak in public, the pedophiles who run all of our governments. ALL. The bombings in Iran? Nothing?
Is it enough for you to finally pay attention? Because thats not even all of it. Not even half.
But yeah, global warming isnt real, and Tr*mp is just trying to ‘free’ everyone in Iran from the evil regime, and all lgbtq people are child predators and and and but but but (sarcasm obvi)
How much clearer do i have to spell it out for you?
its not a genocide but i should spread awareness about this
india is burning at 113 fahrenheit, people are dying from the heat, the government doesn’t give even 1/5 of a damn, and nobody knows
To all my Indian and Pakistani readers,
I know there is a huge heat wave in India and Pakistan rn so I wanted to tell y'all to:
Stay out of the sun (it's not the time to play soccer outside).
Wear sunscreen.
Drink plenty of water (to prevent overheating)
Wear loose clothing (this is so that they don't suffocate you)
Don't leave anyone in a hot car...
Limit work and exercise in general. It's not the time to get all worked up and sweaty.
