The Know Show – we are baking in Asia’s heatwave!

Send us Fan MailSoutheast Asia, the Indian sub-continent, and parts of Africa are sitting in the eye of an extreme heatwave, seeing temperatures five to 10 degrees Celsius above normal, and it’s predicted to last until June. That means no relief is on the horizon for the millions of people being impacted, and reports of deaths from heat stroke are growing by the day. It is challenging for the wealthy countries in the North to comprehend how devastating this heatwave is, with most of the population living without air-conditioning and failing electricity grids. How did we get here? Why didn’t we prepare? Why are governments across the world ignoring the evidence before our eyes? And how can we make the Global South more resilient to these climate impacts? Because if we don’t address this, we will see mass migration and that will be disastrous for our fragile planet, on multiple levels. To help us discuss this and the news going on around the world, we are delighted to welcome Neil Mann, founder of Future Horizon and he is a futurist, advisor, CTO, consultant, and trainer. Neil helps clients uncover what's next on the digital frontier for business, delivering strategic foresight on emerging technologies. As his business tagline suggests: Think bold. Think broad. Think beyond.The Know Show is a Livestream held every fortnight on Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Tim Wade and Joe Augustin, and at least one special guest, review the news that’s getting everyone’s attention, as well as perhaps what requires our attention. We’ll talk about what it means to us, the world and we hope to inspire great conversations on the news that matters in the world today. The Know Show is based on Andrea T Edwards Weekend Reads, which are published every Saturday on andreatedwards.com, and covers the planetary crisis, topical moments in the world, global politics and war, business and technology, social issues, and passion/humour/history.
