"Modi Will Feel the Heat in a Third Term. And Not Just Politically."

"Farmers have repeatedly protested over grievances tied to global warming, a major political and economic test given the importance of India’s rural economy."

"India, the world’s most populous country, is also among the most vulnerable to climate hazards. That’s not only because of the heat and floods that global warming has exacerbated, but also because so many of the country’s 1.4 billion people are vulnerable to begin with. Most people are poor, by global standards, and they have no safety net.

Narendra Modi, the Hindu nationalist prime minister who claimed victory Tuesday for a third five-year term, will face major challenges fueled by climate change.
