India has some of the most extreme long-term climate cycles in the world. Historically, it's kneecapped three separate empires. It can have years where there's virtually no rain and the whole country turns into a putrid, boiling swamp. The soil turns into a giant sponge that soaks up any surface water or shallow spring and immediately bakes it off into the air. We're talking rainfall levels and daytime temperatures closer to areas where you can't maintain a civilization larger than a few nomadic tribes, except it's more like a sauna and everything is rotting.
When is that hopefully going to happen so these scumbags start dying off?
Could be starting now, could be the next one doesn't roll around until the 22nd century. One of the challenges of these near extinction-level droughts is that they're unpredictable.
