What can we do about the extreme heat across Asia?

Authorities are issuing health warnings as parts of Asia bake under sweltering heat. The Philippines has suspended in-person classes, while Bangladesh has extended its heatwave alert. Soaring temperatures in Thailand have led to a record surge in power usage over the weekend. Professor Kathryn Bowen of the University of Melbourne shares with CNA’s Asia First what needs to be done to alleviate the effects of extreme heat on people.

    SG government isn't doing anything useful to reduce temperatures, only telling people to take preventive measures to prevent heat-related health problems and not addressing root causes. With cutting down huge trees and forests for buildings and housing, trying to create green spaces and planting trees from scratch are like putting a plaster on a huge open wound. Money, housing, economy and political legitimacy are what the SG government are more concerned about, not the environment. There comes a time when having too much (too much money and too much stuff) is more detrimental than good, and that time is now. Individuals can only try to do so much to reduce carbon footprint. The ones that are capable of effecting real change is the government, MNCs, huge organisations and corporations, and people of money and power.

It is indeed the biggest, silent killer. 875000 deaths in India due to the heat in 2023. 200000 deaths across Southeast Asia. Yet the top emitters don't see this alarming.

My recovery took a week. I felt so weak, light headed and my left part of the body kinda feels dropping. I am now always cautious with the environment and even the food I eat. I usually don't use my AC but due to what happen I use it now 6 hours during the day and 6 at night.

Like: I'm severely ill, I don't get equal rights. My 'rights' are to work as much as I can stand and then have pain and feel more ill and exhausted for the rest of the time. And I'm from Western Europe. I get no benefits as chronic Lyme Disease is not recognized by the CDC, because it started in a laboratory 4 just across the town of Lyme, USA. And their opinion leads. Extremely unjust and not equal.

    I think if create a more open buying of "nitrogen/dry ice" then can be cooler temperature on ownself. Open like how "a construction idea" can happen, the location to make it? Other is buying "neck fan air cooler". If rain water collection container on top, if too bad to release will it be hot reflection from water? Water-cooler like School-Type kind of self-treatment in house, like if buying a medicine or hospitalized still pays.

These governments could easily contribute towards solar projects for sub-solar plants and then assist the end user in obtaining solar power.
