Australia uses junk science to conclude that smuggled immigrants are "adults", as an excuse to prosecute them.

An extreme heat wave in India is causing cancellation of trains, school, and farming. There could be a big food shortage in India this year, and due to Putin's war there will be little available to buy. I can imagine that millions may die from it. But it's just the beginning. By 2050 I expect that poor people will die from hunger every year in the US.
