It’s hard to make someone who hasn’t experienced this heat understand how much it narrows your mental range. Without aircon, even ordinary tasks demand concentration, thoughts slow down, and the day feels less like something you live in than something you endure.

Now that feeling has shifted into outright fury. https://open.substack.com/pub/theclimatehistorian/p/another-ordinary-day-in-the-climate?r=1qy42b&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web #climatechange
