    No, it makes no sense. India has over a billion people. There’s no way that amount of computing power could just magically have poofed into existence over the past few years, nor the power plants necessary to run all of that.

      This is a future prediction, not a current observation.

      I’m not saying it’s correct as a prediction, but “where are the extra power plants” is not good counter-argument.

        A couple of months ago the average temperature where I live was well below freezing. Now it’s around twenty degrees C.

        By this time next year it’ll be thousands of degrees!
