Conservative Psychos Helped Kill 36 Human Beings with Global Warming

Heat wave in Orissa, 36 dead Jajati Karan http://www.ibnlive.com/news/india/05...ead-39594.html Bhubaneshwar: The heat wave in Orissa has claimed the lives of 36 people though official figures put the toll at six. With temperature rising over 43 degrees Celsius particularly in western part of the state, there is no respite in sight for the people of Orissa. For 44-year-old Birendra Mahasuara, a priest at the Kedar Gouri temple in Bhubaneswar, an early morning bath in the temple pond is a daily ritual. But with temperatures crossing 43 degrees Celsius, it is not a ritual any more but a compulsion. "I am a priest; I cannot afford AC in my house. So by bathing at least four times in a day I try to keep my body cool," says Birendra Mahasuara. The state government has already initiated some measures to combat the heat like changing the working hours for labourers and school timing for children. Even the Meteorological department in Bhubaneswar says the heat wave will not abate soon. "There is some sea breeze in coastal Orissa but that does not reach western Orissa due to North westerly hot winds flowing there. So it's becoming very hot out there," Director of Meteorological department (Bhubaneswar) SC Sahoo says. So far in Orissa the highest temperature has been 50.1 degree Celsius recorded at Titlagarh in 2003. The people in Orissa have already experienced such extreme weather in the past and that is why they have also learnt the art of beating the heat. |
