Since March, people in India and Pakistan have faced near continuous heat well above 40℃. Nearly a hundred people are estimated to have died from the extreme heat, which is also affecting harvests, causing forest fires and power blackouts. Delhi recorded a record high temperature of 49.2℃ in mid May, and the mercury reached 51℃ in Jacobabad, a city in southeastern Pakistan. Scientists have attributed the heatwave to climate change. In this week's episode of The Conversation Weekly podcast, experts explore how much worse heatwaves in the region could get and how farmers can prepare.

On a new episode of our podcast, Don’t Call Me Resilient, we are talking about the connections between discriminatory laws, #Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate crimes in Canada. Our guest is a legal scholar who says Canadian laws aren’t deterring anti-Muslim hate — they’re actually making it worse — in essence, legalizing Islamophobia. We discuss Québec Bill 21, which bans certain public workers from wearing religious symbols like the niqab or hijab, and hate crimes like the deadly attacks at a mosque in Québec City and against a Muslim family in London, Ontario.

The 2022 Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1, and it looks like trouble for the Southeast U.S. Satellite images of ocean heat shows a strong Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico and swirling eddies. An @UnivMiami oceanographer writes: “This year, the Loop Current looks remarkably similar to the way it did in 2005, the year Hurricane Katrina crossed the Loop Current before devastating New Orleans. Of the 27 named storms that year, seven became major hurricanes. Wilma and Rita also crossed the Loop Current that year and became two of the most intense Atlantic hurricanes on record.“ Full story at link in bio #weather #hurricane #climate #katrina #hurricanes #hurricanekatrina #climatechange #climatecrisis #hurricaneseason

As Australians prepare to vote in federal elections on May 21, in The Conversation Weekly podcast, we explore how the country’s political landscape is shifting. Scott Morrison of Australia’s centre-right Liberal Party is up for reelection for the second time since he became prime minister in 2018. His main challenger is Anthony Albanese of the centre-left Labor Party, which leads going into the election – although the polls have narrowed in the final stages. But the Liberals are also facing a new challenge from a group of independent candidates, known as teal independents because of the colour of their campaign materials.

It’s been a year since the unmarked graves of 215 Indigenous children — some of them as young as three years old — were found on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia, Canada. In a new episode of our podcast, Don’t Call Me Resilient, we’re taking a look back at what happened, the immediate political response, the widespread grief and outcry but also, how none of that lasted — despite communities continuing to find children’s remains in Canada and the United States. Listen to Host Vinita Srivastava’s (@vinitaonelove ) conversation with Culture + Society Editor Haley Lewis, who is mixed Kanyen'keha:ká from Tyendinaga, and Prof. Veldon Coburn of @ireauottawaiirs @uottawa , who is Anishinaabe from Pikwàkanagàn, by clicking the link in bio.
