Maybe Bill Gates can explain to poor Indian households why they’re not able to afford clothes anymore because climate change has caused extreme rain leading to a collapse in India’s cotton output.

But sure, Bill, climate change isn’t the immediate urgent problem, is it?
Extreme rain collapses India’s cotton output which has fallen to a 17-year low.

“Western states Maharashtra and Gujarat, along with southern states Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, received heavy, untimely rainfall in October, damaging cotton crops ready for harvest.”
