Monthlong heat waves. AdvertisementLocal climate hazardsTo make predictions at a city level, Mackres said WRI built on global climate modeling done by hundreds of other researchers. World Resources InstituteIn Bengaluru, India's fifth-most-populous city, extreme heat has caused severe water shortages and surging energy demand. Now it ranks second behind San Francisco after a series of deadly heat waves prompted residents to install AC. If that demand is met with fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal, it could exacerbate the climate crisis, WRI said.

Hong Kong CNN —What happens when Asia’s biggest potato chip maker runs out of potatoes? Pepsi (PEP) controls about 24% of the region’s potato chip market, while Calbee has about 12%, according to data from Euromonitor International. But the area was ravaged by drought in 2021, and the firm’s domestic potato supply fell by 8% and 14% in the 2021 and 2022 fiscal years, respectively. Calbee tried to make up for the shortfall by importing more from the United States, which normally accounts for the remaining 10% of its potato supply. “Staying available on shelves is essential, not just to compete with other potato chip brands but also with other types of snacks.”
