‘Unbearable’ heat in Delhi is testing limits of human survival

1. Note that there are two common “wet bulb” temperatures used in discussion:

   * Wet Bulb Globe Temperature – this tells you that physical activity (including work) in unshaded locations can kill healthy adults and is used in this article
   * Wet Bulb Temperature – this tells you whether it is hot enough to kill the bulk of the population for just sitting still in the shade with access to plenty of water

2. Don’t worry, Modi was sent by the Gods.

3. It is going to be interesting to see how much of the globe will be uninhabitable for humans over the next few decades.

4. Fear not, its only 1.4 billion people affected. No biggie. /s

5. Please go buy some gasoline today.
