Wet Bulb Near 35 C — Heatwave Mass Casualties Strike India Amidst Never-Before-Seen High Temperatures

Never-before-seen high temperatures and high humidity are resulting in thousands of heat injuries and hundreds of heat deaths across India. In some places, wet bulb readings appear to be approaching 35 C — a level of latent heat never endured by humans before fossil fuel burning forced global temperatures to rapidly warm. A reading widely-recognized as the limit of human physical endurance and one whose more frequent excession would commit the human race to enduring an increasing number of episodes of killing heat. A boundary that scientists like Dr. James Hansen warned would be exceeded if a human-forced warming of the world was not halted.

And it is in this newly dangerous climate context that temperatures near 125 degrees Fahrenheit settled in over India’s border region with Pakistan yesterday. A blistering wave of crippling heat hitting never-before-seen readings over that highly-populated nation. In Phalodi, India, the mercury rocketed to 123.8 degrees Fahrenheit (51 degrees Celsius). This reading exceeded India’s previous all-time record high for any location which stood at 123.1 degrees Fahrenheit (50.6 degrees Celsius) set on May 25, 1886. Across the border in Pakistan, temperatures crossed “critical” thresholds this week, hitting 124.7 degrees Fahrenheit (51.5 degrees Celsius) Thursday in the city of Jacobabad as officials in that state issued health warnings to the public.

holy fucking shit,,, ouch!

yep
it's hot over there

Never endured by humans before? LOL!
This is why warmist doomers aren't taken seriously.

It is hot there because it is always hot there...sometimes more than others
Not because of global warming shit.
Yep

Granny says, "Dat's right...

... like it says in Revelation inna Bible...

... it gonna get hot fer 5 months...

... an' den we all gonna die."

had to replant my garden it's so cold here in PA

yep
it's hot over there

India uses Camel dung to cook with. I will keep my A/C and they can keep their Camel dung.

And that has to do with the present heat wave in India how? More evidence of a room temperature IQ on your part. Perhaps when you get beyond 13, you will actually look at some science.

 

[Manonthestreet]

thank god they are saving the planet by going without AC

 

[Old Rocks]

Thank God you are such a compassionate asshole.

He is correct Todd. India has already has mass casualties from wet bulb temps of 33C. If you think you know of higher wetbulb readings, let's see a link.

He is correct Todd.

He is correct that humans in India, or anywhere, have "never endured" temperatures that high before?

If you think you know of higher wetbulb readings

It's never been that hot before wet bulbs were invented? Fascinating.

 

[Crick]

That's your response? Have you ever simply tried admitting that you made a mistake?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

That's your response? Have you ever simply tried admitting that you made a mistake?

Yes, my response is that it's beyond moronic to claim a recent reading is hotter than it's ever been for humans.

It's funny that you'd defend that claim.

 

[Crick]

It wasn't out in the Negev, the Gobi or the Atacama. That reading was taken in a heavily populated city. If you think that has no significance, then I'd have to say you aren't actually participating in this discussion.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

If only they had nuclear power and air conditioning......

 

[Crick]

And if you can't allow "ever seen" into the rubrik of "ever recorded", you're not playing to find the truth.

Never-before-seen high temperatures and high humidity

"Ever recorded" isn't quite as doomy......

 

[Crick]

It is to the significant number of folks dying outright from the heat.
