Cosmetic measures adopted to combat the heat wave will not do. Plant trees.
Churu in Rajasthan crosses the halfway mark to the boiling point of water. Churu burns at 51 degrees.
10 reported dead in the heat wave. How many more martyrs to human encroachment into vegetation will quicken the sanity of nations? How much more of human greed will seek salvation in the exhausted breath of fellow humans?
It is now or never. Plant trees and survive to see a brighter morrow. Else, mass extinction awaits in the near future whence there shall be no return.
We are now at the crossroads of human history where we will have to take a call if we wish technology to save us or to annihilate us wholesale. Again I say, plant trees. There is no alternative. Or, perhaps, there is one --- mass extinction.
