17th February, 2008Alex’s initial thoughts on climate change…
Growing up in India I am used to the warm climate. But, in the last decade or so, the summers in the region are so hot the temperatures reaches near or over 40˚C and summer afternoons are sometimes spend indoors to avoid the sweltering heat. In these areas fresh water supply is always a concern. Families and some times entire villages have to travel long distances or wait in long lines to get their daily ration of water for basic needs. Water wells and lines of people waiting for access to them are getting deeper as we experience longer, warmer summers.
