  • This is a very bait way to mention the fact. It insinuates India is increasing effort towards coal and gas when that is clearly not true. India is globally the third largest producer of renewable energy and 40 percent of all new energy plants are renewable energy. Also, if you think about it, do you really think it’s possible to generate extra electricity from wind and solar and hydroelectric on demand? Naturally, if your demand goes up, you can only burn more fuel. The best way to do this would be to consume nuclear fuel which India already is moving towards, but the current infrastructure is still significantly reliable on coal. Also, if you want to blame global heat on India, I would recommend looking at per capita statistics instead of punching down at a country which had all of its resources stripped by a nation which built its wealth on colonialism











  • I don’t think I agree. Where I stay, we just had a whole month of 47C when ten years ago it used to be around 37C. I’m not saying it will follow the same linear scale but I am saying that there’s only so long humans can survive at these temperatures. For the bulk of the population, surviving at these temperatures means spending electricity which means burning more coal which means accelerating warming.

    I don’t see how I myself am going to survive for ten, fifteen years when my country can no longer grow wheat or vegetables, leave alone future kids of mine.
