Why India Is Becoming Unliveable: Heat and the AC Trap
Original: Why India Is Becoming Unliveable: Heat, Climate Change & AC Trap | Arunabha Ghosh |FO580 Raj Shamani
Climate policy expert Arunabha Ghosh joins Raj Shamani's podcast to argue that India is becoming unliveable due to extreme heat and climate change. He highlights the 'AC trap': as temperatures rise, air conditioning becomes a necessity for survival, yet widespread AC use drives up energy demand and emissions, worsening the very problem it tries to escape. The discussion covers cooling alternatives, urban planning and policy responses needed to protect millions of Indians from deadly heatwaves.
Why now: India's punishing heatwaves have made how the country will cope with rising temperatures an urgent topic.
