More than 550 hajj pilgrims die in Mecca as temperatures exceed 50C | At least 320 of the dead are from Egypt and Saudi officials report treating more than 2,000 people for heat stress
That Saudi. The plan there seems to be to sell off all the oil, and then have the royal family decamp to a more northern latitude with their harems while the rest of the population cooks to death.
There are ways to make deserts, eh, more livable. Various kinds of mosses, correct usage of water for feeding plants (to reduce sandstorms), and solar farms there occupy territory both not in huge demand and use some of that excess energy.
That's not what's happening now, but the technologies have been tried successfully and work. I like shitting on Israel for their moral standing (the opposite to that, I mean), but their approaches to managing deserts do work, and they are not too wasteful with water.
Our overlords assure is everything is normal. Continue consumption. Do not revolt against polluting industries. Stay inside your homes and expire for the economy. This seems to ring true the world over.
I can't fuckin wait until it gets to that boiling point where we just absolutely trash these wealthy families. Part of me wants that to happen more than us immediately correcting this another way. Fuck those greedy rats.
About 1.5 million people did the Hajj. 320 is approximately 0.023% which cannot be used to draw any conclusion.
Then for those who don’t know, many people go to the “Optional” Hajj unregistered, which means they don’t have an indoor place to stay on or use transportation options and have no direct access to food. There are also the one who are old, the one who take their kids with them, and the one who are sick.
Again the islamic ruling is you do the Hajj “if you can” this include if it is during extreme heat you can just stop or never go in the first place.
