India Heatwave Proof of Global Warming or Apocalyptic End of the World?
The recent heatwave in India has so far killed at least 600 people, and as the heat does not seem to be easing up any, authorities are expecting that number to rise. Many are using the India heatwave as just another example of proof for theories like global warming or the apocalypse (end of the world). Though the rise in heat could be a cause of many different things, it is clear that it is not normal, and as it continues to cause heat stroke in hundreds of India’s residents, many across the globe are growing extremely concerned.
Of course by now, with so much hype going on about it over the years, nearly everyone is aware of the theories of global warming. The greenhouse gases that are released into the Earth’s atmosphere supposedly reduce the Ozone layer that protects the Earth from the sun and over time the world gets hotter, the weather gets crazier, and the climate changes. Theories about global warming show belief that the world will start experiencing stronger, more frequent storms and hotter weather in most places. Some of this theory does not necessarily make sense to some, but with the problems seen in the world recently, scientists certainly have examples that they can use as proof.
The heat in India reached 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Residents were warned to stay inside and drink much fluid. However, regardless of warnings and precautions, many across cities in India still perished from heat stroke. The deaths come in groups, leading to hundreds as a collective, in states such as Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and others. In combination with the violent tornadoes, massive flooding, dying off of birds from supposed avian cholera, and other climate and environmental events going on many believe that the heatwave in India is just another example that global warming is severely affecting the planet. However, others believe that global warming has nothing to do with it.
