and to think people don't have electricity in this weather i just...

 

[KediKesenFare3]

With the right infrastructure even temperatures as high as in Pakistan right now aren't a big problem for daily life. I just hope that people have electricity.

 

[Thəorətic Muslim]

Electrical use of A/Cs and Coolers will just further increase the temperature, in A/C usage in Hong Kong was studied as leading to 2 degrees increase in temperature.

The government not being able to control loadshedding in such extreme temperatures makes me sad.
Can you imagine how difficult it will be for Pakistani muslims to carry out their religious obligation in this month.

The government deserves to be held accountable for its failures, above all else.
