It’s a bleak future.
Northen India had a godawful heatwave followed by floods. Meanwhile the seasonal monsoon which is necesssary for crops and to meet water needs is missing in Southern India. So the country is experiencing floods & drought at different parts at the same time. This is playing havoc on peoples lives, livelihood, and food prices.
Food inflation is at such a high that we’ve stopped export of rice, onions, and tomatoes. Sugar is next on the list & so is wheat. Food-impot dependent countries are in for a hell of a time.
No politician wanted to do any climate change reduction because of the impact on the economy. Now they get large inflation because of food prices, reconstruction of infrastructure after floods and reduced productivity because of the heat with no idea how to fix it.
Most of India’s politicians get voted to power for their caste, religion, gender, criminality, and the money they spend to buy votes. Very rarely is anyone voted to power for their progressive ideas. So the current hell is self-made, as far as Indian people are concerned.
Unfortunately, I think this is how the near future will be for a lot of places. I hope I’m wrong and I definitely hope circumstances in India will change favourably soon.
Second Great Depression is bound to happen once all the bread baskets collapse due to climate change

It’s what climate scientists have been predicting for over 30 years. They only thing they were wrong about is how much faster it would happen than their predictions.
Ooh, splendid 🙃
