As 120 Degree Heat Kills In Africa, No Place To Go

A deadly heat wave has hit central Africa, particularly in Mail. Temperatures are nearly 120 degrees F in some areas, which, for any long period of time, humans cannot survive. The heat wave has lasted three weeks and may recur again quickly. The temperature has been caused by climate change, a number of scientists. According to the BBC, “A new analysis from scientists involved with the World Weather Attribution group suggests the high day time and night time temperatures would not have been possible without the world’s long term use of coal, oil and gas as well as other activities such as deforestation.” However, other experts say it has been caused by El Niño and not major changes in the climate. 

Climate Cost –$38 Trillion?

Climatecrisis247 believes that many of these heat waves, which are not restricted to Africa by any means, are caused by climate change and raise questions about two problems that are impossible to solve. No sum of many can reverse the rise in temperatures, and no sum of money can help these people relocate to areas with more temperate weather.  

No Relocation

The extreme African heat event has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Similarly, deadly temperatures are rising to record levels across the globe. The increases are particularly present in parts of the Middle East and India. Most of the people in these regions are poor and have no air conditioning. The high temperature waves come more and more often, often accompanied by drought in Africa and high humidity in India. 

On paper, it would take tens of billions of dollars, and perhaps trillions, to relocate these people to areas with both jobs and food. However, there are national border challenges, even if the money were available. Some of these borders are or could be protected by a military presence.
