Ever read Ministry for the Future?
It starts off with a high humidity heatwave, the kind where the human body cannot sweat enough, owing to all that moisture in the air, to keep itself cool. You die.
The book starts with an event like that in India, killing millions of people. That sets things in motion because India then realizes nobody is going to slow down what they are doing and they will lose millions more people before long.
India starts doing the right thing.
