these so called developed countries instead of mobilisng 100bn $ per year as per agreement have not yet mobilised 1bn $ per year-eve that is for adaptation rather than mitigation
I can't help but really appreciate Guptaji whenever he says "you guys are much smarter than me". Knowing so much and having such vast experience, yet being so humble is a great quality.
@Siddharth Sriram I fail to understand how this is a reply to my comment.
@vyon Sinha agree and great to see his humility. However concerning that someone commenting on serious issues in our country has such a basic understanding of green house gases. However I completely appreciate his effort to learn and educate others as well.
He is right because new generations know more thanks to the internet and how we use it
How many of viewers had done this in UPSC preparation And analyzing how SG is explaining. It's great to watch and gave me smile.
Al Jaljeera wala joke though. Nailed it. 😂😂🤣🤣
Joke 🤔
Yes, holier than thou mouth piece for the authoritarian king
@@sharadchandakacherla8268 nailed it … unless you are replying on a pseudonym else prison in Doha !! No joke - seriously
@@tapemaj don't worry Sharad, rest assured the prison is going to be fully air conditioned!
In previous ctc SG himself mentioned Al Jazeeer to be well established and reputed
‘As we watch the sun go down, evening after evening, through the smog across the poisoned waters of our native earth, we must ask ourselves seriously whether we really wish some future universal historian on another planet to say about us: “With all their genius and with all their skill, they ran out of foresight and air and food and water and ideas,” or, “They went on playing politics until their world collapsed around them.”’
The Great Derangement by Amitav Ghosh.
Yes , Amitav Ghosh mentioned it …
Who is amitav Ghosh?
@@sayandas3669 a good author of fiction whose novels teach you a lot about mankind, even more than many history books. Try the Ibis Trilogy books for starters. Or just explore reviews of his books on Goodreads.
Thanks for bringing back those brilliant lines, Minhaj. And you’ve sparked a thought in my head. To request Amitava Ghosh For an OffTheCuff interview...stay well
Jesus Christ is about to return.
Shekhar Sir just one correction…Climate has been happening on earth since Ice age and in future also will take place.
It’s just that human activities have accelerated the speed by a huge factor, what would have happened in a million years is now happening a few decades…
1. Reduce your consumption
2. Plant treees and harvest rain water, make it part of your workouts. 2 birds with one stone.
You can motivate others by donating them fruit plants
3. Use public transport system, it's safer for you and the environment
Walking the last mile is good for your health you know
4. Buy local produce/made.
5. Avoid resource intensive produce. For example Sesame seeds are grown in dry land and pesticide free and super food.
6. Use your imagination to come up with better ideas than above to reduce yours and your family's CO2 footprint
In my college days students were leaving classrooms without turning off lights and fans when I tried to explain the problem their response was that they were paying huge fees so they were entitled to waste college resources
As a son of a farmer I knew its impact so I did my best to save energy during my time there.
PS: don't expect someone to come and rescue you.
Sorry to disappoint you but individual choices matter almost nothing in combating the higher Carbon emissions.
most people don't know it, but the major Oxygen contributor to the planet is Phytoplanktons.
they are the algae which is present in abundance in Ocean. Just trees won't help, we need more suitable environment for Oceans as well, so that the planktons can produce oxygen.

I use a bicycle although my family has a car. ✌️Most people say that a bicycle is used by poor people but fck them.
International conference"Global crisis. It's already affects everyone" was really shocking and eye-opening about climate changes. We all urgently need to act and build the Creative society to survive.
As much as I Love Shekhar Ji, I have to say that today's episode seemed more like a college professor giving a lecture on Environmental Studies and we had to listen because you never miss an episode of Cut the Clutter.
I like lectures to be honest. It makes learning easier than having to figure out everything myself. And a lecture is only boring if we're not interested in the material or the medium of presentation isn't good, which isn't the case here.
We have so much difficulty in convincing people to segregating wet and dry waste. Getting Aam Aadmi to understand climate change where each one can make a difference is a tall order
David Attenbourgh's "A life on our planet" is an engaging documentary on the issue of climate change....From there one can get the idea of how actually are we screwed when it comes to climate...and what needs to be done.
Exactly!
How to watch that free
@@nipponmukherjee8609 it’s available on CZcams for free
I've waited for a long long time for CTC to dwell on ecological issues! They're complex issues- as much psychologically/behaviourally as physically. People have sharply conflicted and nuanced perceptions on the topic. And these issues are of so much urgency and import too, for every day we delay action just debating without uncluttering. No life is untouched from pollution, waste (anyone ever discusses waste?), toxicity, unplanned population distribution, deforestation, poaching, indiscriminate mining etc. There are thousands of issues waiting to be uncluttered!
Although you broadly explained well GHGs role in warming, one small technical correction: Its not like GHGs emit more or less. They allow sunlight to go towards earth but blocks what earth sends towards space (due to different sun and earth surface temperatures). So they act like a trap.
I would have also liked if you talked a little about India's great achievements in meeting or in fact exceeding NDC targets in Renewable energy.
GuptaJi, Thank You for the amazing analysis. Love the extraordinary range of CTC: from hockey to geopolitics or domestic affairs; everything gets cluttered by SG!
you mean decluttered
Sorry.. negotiating climate change is like negotiating on how long your children can live, it has become so imminent.
Very true. Climate change isn't going to wait for an egalitarian society - I'm not sure who we're negotiating with by looking at per capita consumption.
Requested an episode on IPCC report and here it is , Thank you .
That's why I love watching CTC as I learn something new everyday that I don't get to read or listen to anywhere ... ❣️❣️
SG, Please do a CTC on a possible Indian naval base in Mauritius, it is much needed!
TV journalist of "Walk the Talk" fame, Hon'ble Sh. Sekhar Gupta - Chief editor is truly amazing and very thorough in his research and presentations 💐🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dear Shekhar ji, one small request. Please leave these topics for Sandhya Ramesh. Thanks.
no, this was important
She has been talking about themore complex scientific aspects of this, and will continue to do so..thank you
Was Just having a conversation with one of my friend on this topic, Thank you SG for enlightening us more on this topic.. Respect SG..👍🙌🙌
It's quite good to watch the blog, coz finally Indian journalists are talking about real issues apart from politics. We must know about global warming and its impact on the globe. The problem does not only belong to IPCC or the UN, we should be part of it. It's time to invest and support renewable energy sources, we must cut down fossil fuel usage, we must grow the forest. Indian government should invest huge funds into hydrogen energy which is the future, cleanest form of energy. Moreover, we need to develop the R & D technologies that can capture CO2 and convert it into useful chemicals because billions of tons of CO2 is there in the atmosphere which is the free raw material. Other developed countries are intensively working on these things. I believe Indian Scientists have the capabilities to do much better, only they need support from the government.
This was a very cynical take. Countries like India have the most to lose in a future where we don’t control climate change. Countries like Canada and Germany are putting huge investments in clean fuel technology and they should do their part in paying for the developing world to adapt their energy. India can gain hugely by taking advantage and investing in solar, offshore wind and a smart electric grid.
I strongly appreciate your learning skills because in this age also you go through all like what is green house effect and political economy and all, the clutter and at the end of the day upload a video👏👏👏
I am in mid 30’s, and personally i see the climate change around. In childhood, used to see rain coming consistently and slow drizzling s throughout 4 months of monsoon. Now a days it either doesn’t come or comes all inches of rain in one day. Draught and flood together in same season. Green area,s like Maharashtra, Kerala, Uttarakhand,etc.. getting floods every year as the only places where clouds get chance to condense in to rain. Wildly expanded mega cities face water shortage throughout year and few centimetres of rain floods the life. I wonder what lies ahead in next 30 years.
Shekhar, it might be interesting to do an episode on the many tipping points that take place with every 0.1 degree of warming. We are at that cusp of time that going forward, all climate anomalies will be progressively deadlier and costlier (loss of life, infrastructure, disruption in services, rescue and rebuilding) and we will have increasing difficulty in predicting and preparing for such anomalies.
We do need to understand the challenging and destructive milestones that litter our future like landmines...
As long as it not ends in only speculativ and pessimistic news.. i leek peer reviewe..
Those tipping points are still on the fringes of research and constantly change under new data.
Reporting on the state of the art research or tech in solar, storage or EVs would also be interesting 😀

Feels good watching videos before the toxic comments arrive and ruin your mood
@@aarohi.5272 it not only for early access of video but its to truly support genuine journalism .
Great episode. Would appreciate a cut the clutter episode on “carbon tax”.
Well, it is high time people stopped sheltering behind the science jargon, bureaucracy, and pretending this is beyond them. This includes scientists, governments, and international organisations. It is not like climate change will stop happening if we stop thinking and talking about it.
Thank you SG for showing the way. I think you nailed the problem in the opening 2 min of your program today. Most of us are rendered useless in this fight because this change has been made too cluttered and inaccessible to us. We are all hiding behind someone and something, thinking someone someday will take care of it. But, the climate change will not wait for us to acquire climate neutral habits.
You not only did your homework today, you also made this huge problem accessible to common people like me. I am confident if more people like you can talk about it, more awareness to identify and recognize our day to day practices to mitigate this could take place.
When Sekharji said about a country that lectures others- I just knew he was speaking about 🇨🇦. Anyways effects of climate change and deforestation is very much visible here. You rarely see a butterfly or a bee, pollination happens with wasps.
Climate change is not a local phenomenon, now its a global phenomenon
I appreciate the effort you put into putting this together. It's alarming that almost nobody in India is talking about these issues despite that fact that a lot of Indian cities are extremely water stressed and the coasts are highly vulnerable with the current infrastructure.
Thank you so much for the this - you are awesome! I really appreciate how you listened to your audience and made this episode. I was just hoping for a more detailed analysis of the current IPCC report, but this was necessary too for people who are not that familiar with the complexities of climate change.
Thank you Ankit...I myself realised I knew so little so got curious and stuck to the basics first...wonderful hearing from you
Better public transportation is the best doable thing to reduce global warming. Next best thing is 4Rs, Refuse-Reduce-Reuse-Recycle.
Good points, Satya. Also, ‘polluter pays’ is a good principle. Particularly as it applies to natiopns...thanks for writing in
Frankly I’m not that optimistic that we will be able to fight climate change, I really wish we could but knowing how politicized this world truly is we are bound to lose unless some drastic global reform takes place (going by our track records in the past we suck at reform). Even environmental activists play double standards and politics when discussing about climate change. Want a good example? Greta Thunberg.
20:54 *Most Hippocritical country* that lectures whole world on liberalism, political correctness ,environment Friendiness - *Canada*
And it's Disney Prince- Justin Trudeau
The most interesting and understandable explanation of Global warming I have heard till date.
Not only trump, even our great Modi ji once said that there was no climate change.
Bullshit . India is leading solar power usage not only within country but also globally. PM modi has been Championing that. Super proud.
Try installing solar panel at your home. You would know how much subsidy government is giving
@@alltradingsecrets2859 True. Nevertheless, before assuming the office, he had stated what I just wrote.
To be fair Trump never said there was no climate change, just that the global warming theory was a hoax. That's what he means whenever he speaks of a climate hoax. His speech is kind of like an evolving meme . Once you figure out what he's trying to say he's actually not difficult to figure out.
@@abulkalam1976 Yes he did. In stark contrast, his actions before and after PMship have been a one of combating climate change, from setting up solar parks in gujarat to scaling up that model at a national level amd creating initiative (international solar alliance) at the global level
Absolutely Fantastic! Shekhar was back to basics today and I think all loved the CTC today... After yesterdays' political CTC(yes political as Shekhar was busy taking potshots at modi governments duplicity) today's CTC was fantastic.. Especially, calling out the western nations sermons.. Loved it!!!
The last few minutes could be summed up in the meme "Maa chod diye, bhaiyaji!" 😂
So important for Researchers like us this discussion
Much needed episode. Thank you for bringing it Sekhar Ji.
Even the sunscream that we use...they too are bleaching the coral reefs...most of the island countries have banned the uses of sunscream at beaches due to this.
A major reason for delay in climate action is that the west refuses to perform its role under the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities" while the east refuses to take additional responsibility on the ground we didn't did it, and when we will do it we will take the responsibility. The need of the hour is Mitigation and adaptation to go hand in hand. Otherwise we are staring at a catastrophe of immense proportions. Time requires we all stop pushing the can down the road and start acting at least on an individual basis, because whether west finances you or not you are going to suffer from climate change. India has a unique opportunity to become the first nation in human history to become an economic superpower by having a completely green economy. Climate change impacts all but we are still busy fighting on who will pay the bill. We should pursue ''ekla chalo' on climate issue if we want to create a better India and better world.
#ShekharGupta finally made something on climate change for which I’m glad but also lost the opportunity to emphasize the East’s role in it. It was childish of him to represent that its ok for east/India to fully exploit the situation since West has been doing it for so long, that’s such a narrow view. Also to ask money from west for our CO2 reductions was weird. He forgot to add that India has a serious air pollution/Particulate Matter (PM) pollution problem which is directly linked to Co2 emissions. The west may emit more emissions but their PM pollution is regulated/non existent vs India, if India keeps going at the rate it’s going then only the Indians will suffer the most with PM pollution being linked to serious diseases.
The west doesn’t have coal brick kilns, factories, coal power plants spewing Soot 24/7 in the air. This only makes Indians life as hell, so west doesn’t have to pay for anything, they don’t have a Particulates Matter pollution problem, India does. Sooner India handles it the better it will be for Indians. India wants to tax EVs 100% import duty, a duty that Indians will pay not west.
India keeps delaying the retrofitting of its coal power plants with Sulphur/PM filters, only people getting hurt directly from it are Indians.
The whole of the world should take responsibility and actively do the needful. The west knew IPCC report long time ago, but the world didn't wake up, now they are. Now we can change our life style.
@@sonarbangla8711 The west is doing its part, just because the west used leaded fuel (today’s coal) in the past doesn’t means India needs to use it for years forward. It’ll only affect the health of Indians not west.
West cannot control the laws being passed in Indian Parliament on air pollution, West cannot ban Coal Brick Kilns that operate in every nook/corner of each city, west cannot stop the plumes of black/soot smoke from every unregulated Indian factory or push India to adopt EVs soon. Only India and Indians can do that, sooner the better. There is no quality of life when the air around you is filthy. Particulate Matter pollution doesn’t affect the west, it affects Indians living in Indian cities or around these Kilns, power plants or factories.
Exactly, like Climate change is going to wait for developing countries to become equal to developed countries before starting to show effects 😂.
Real Truth Analysed. Thanks
What a privilege to watch CTC As soon as it's uploaded, couldn't have got a better deal for Rs.159 a month 👍
Thank you very much, Tejwani. I am trying to put these out even earlier now. Warm best wishes
SG,
Pl. do an episode on possible mitigation and resilience methods also- just because India per capita emission is relatively lower it is not that we shall be spared of the extreme condition created and that has serious implications for food and life security in the Indian subcontinent.
irony here is, you see KIA Banner Advertisement all through the video.
unless petrol consumption is not brought under control, our future generations are going to survive in extreme weather conditions. "Bush Fire in Canada" can you imagine how worse it is...and now Greece.
It is like sitting in a Science class on Climate change. Great and very informative.
The man, the myth the legend, Sir Shekhar Gupta! 🙌🏻
sir, greenhouse gases absorb more than they radiate and thats why they cause the heating effect not the other way around which causes cooling effect.
SG probably got a story for this week's national interest
Not just that Mumbai will go under the water, but even the real estate prices of that city too will be underwater
This is a slightly misleading presumption. It assumes that cities and countries don’t have land protection and reclamation technologies . Which FYI they do. That’s how modern Mumbai was made in the first place. Neatherlands has grown in size inspite of rising sea levels. As long as there is will and people with will have enough money. Mumbai will survive.
@@DevKulkarni Yeah, but do poorer countries have the money to protect themselves from rising sea levels.
Shekharji should also start an upsc coaching. He will make a very good teacher and mentor.
Thanks a lot for this coherent explanations sir, i learned new things about percapita CO2 emissions , of course the western nations hold the major stake in its emissions and lecture developing nations but I came across that rich Middle East nations are acting with total haste and contributing exponentially to the climate change !!
Great Explainer on Climate Change. Nobody is talking about that. Thank You CTC
Understand the importance and need of sponsorship for news organizations, but having SUV ads appear on a CTC on climate change doesn't quite feel right....
Legend.
That’s a valid point. We can’t mostly control what ads come in. But will speak with our marketing people. Thank you for writing in
Thanks Shekhar. Clear, simple & a message that the world and India needs to understand.
Thank you for explaining a tough concept in simple , intelligble terms. You do live up to your promise of cutting the clutter.
shekhar ji aap ko bahut bahut dhanywad, itni achi knowledge and word articulation hai aapki.
Shekhar Sir's Canada rant made my day
Shekhar sir, greenhouse gases don't emit radiation.
Incoming radiation by the sun comes mostly in the form of short wavelength which is allowed entry by the greenhouse gases. However, they trap the outgoing terrestrial radiation by the earth more than what is normal, and as a result, heat gets trapped within the earth more than what is optimum for life.
It's similar to how hot we feel when we enter a car parked in sun with the windows closed. The glass at the windows have the same effect as greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases per se do not emit radiation; they only trap.
Thanks a lot sir for your and The Print's unhyphenated journalism in these polarised times. I'm a student at present but I promise to take up a paid subscription as soon as I pass college.
Absolutely love this video! Great to see Climate Change being discussed, especially in cut the clutter!
Data speaks ... You should create a shorts for this and make it viral to open people's eyes 👀
Interesting to see the annual emission change trends as well... it is clear that we Indians are going to continue to increase emissions as we walk in the path of our economic development. It's easy to blame the West, but we need some introspection as well when it comes to our environmental sustainability, the models that we work on is diluting it further. Considering that we are one of the most vulnerable regions climatically we too need to take a forward stance in adapting our economic policies towards sustainable development.
Completely agree that the "Developed" countries of the world need to take a more proactive and radical course to reduce their emissions before preaching to others already living impoverished lifestyles int he Global South. They really need to set the example and pay for the damage that their colonizing tactics have done to the world. Becuase this exploitative environment of capitalism and greed has been fueled and propelled by colonialism.
🙏 thanks print for raising very serious issue of the world. We have garden around without pesticides, solar water heater, use electricity, water, petroleum products consciously, recycle waste, water harvesting, don't waste food.
Also population control single child policy
One of recent best by Sekhar Gupta Ji
"Darasal Climate change nahi hua hai. Hum change ho gaye hai." said a Mahapurush once.
Best cut the clutter, with relavant facts and figures
Just as you had mentioned in an older episode, where India sorted it's border issues with its smaller neighbours by being large hearted , so too the rich nations need to make an extra effort to win this battle of climate change
The best "cut the clutter" episode. Congratulations Sir. ❤️
Congratulations to the print team for such an important topic. We must act in this irreversible anthropogenic damages to planet and its other species before extinction.
This video should be played wherever those climate change negotiations are happening.👏👊
I am pretty sure Mr Gupta that this will one of the least viewed episode of your CTC. People still don't give a damn and don't think about climate change. But trust me this is a matter of existence.
If so, it will be a pity. But that is no reason we should not talk about the most important issue facing us and our future generations. That’s why serious journalism is needed. Thankls for writing in
@@shekhargupta3911 I will forward this video to as many people as I can. Climate change is real. People still don't understand the difference between climate and weather. Thats why you will see people including Trump saying statement like " if global warming is real then why it's snowing in Chicago".Anyway thanks for your reply.
I wish I have got a teacher like you during pursuit of my mechanical engineering degree!

Ye shi tha gutu
1. It's true that the emission per capita in India is low. But it is not equally divided inside the country. A larger chunk of energy usage is in metro cities for obvious reasons. The goal of India should be to move this energy usage from cities to towns and help the towns and villages to become developed so at least there is a balance within the country.
2. India should start investing in renewable sources of energy because even though our emissions per capita might be low, we do have to shift to these sources to be able to have a stable future.
3. India and other countries with comparatively lower emissions should pressurize the "developed nations" to reduce their emissions because at the end of the day climate change will affect the whole world, seas levels will rise everywhere, and low emitting countries will be the worse hit (lack of infrastructure)
4. Media needs to start asking policymakers what they are doing to align with the Paris Agreement
A great perspective worth citing Shekhar Guptaji
Absolutely Brilliant Sir👏🏻
Sir a big fan. But this one was very classroom-ish for the first 10 mins. While I know you were trying to explain the very basics, I feel most people who listen to your episodes have a fair idea of the basics of climate change. Just a feedback. Keep it up! Looking forward to your next episode.
I am a Canadian living in the Yukon Territory Canada 🇨🇦. I have been telling people here and my American Relatives we are changing the world's atmosphere to a degree dangerous to all life on the planet. I have been telling them that for 30 years. Nobody wants to hear it. They call me old Mrs. Gloom and doom. I think the world is past all the tipping points. My advice now to go North and hope this 🙏 atmosphere we have now allows a few million people to survive in the North. You know what everyone says, " I don't want to just survive, I would rather die than just survive". You know what? People do not want to go to such places as Whitehorse or Yellowknife because it's too cold. 🙄 If you are educated apply for citizenship in Canada and come North...which will be very costly and may not be a guarantee of even survival, of course, because the AMOC (Atlantic meridional overturning circulation) may slow down due to Arctic melting slowing the Gulf Stream and we will be plunged into an Ice Age, which paradoxically will save the planet since we can do cold, we just can't do hot. So there you have it. Take a chance, come North and survive and maybe, just maybe 😉 you will survive. By the way, I am sorry 😞 that Canada is using so much bad energy. We could switch to better energy with the political will and give some of that better energy to the third world. I guess I better switch my talk to that, it is more positive. Thanks 😊 for the video by the way, it has changed my paradigm on Climate since it makes one 🤔 think.
Great work by Shekhar and team, but I would like to see more of this in the future.
Really these electric vehicles are really overhyped, it produces manyfolds times more CO2 during production of an EV vehicle than ICE vehicle , it is more expensive, Lithium for EV is mostly available in China thus making a monopoly ,nor its cheap or eco friendly but the hype created is good for MNC companies as they want to exploit this lack of info among the populace
thank you so much, sir! for sharing information with us in such a light-hearted way!! excellent work!!! much love
The IPCC reports are a great resource for research. I haven't researched global warming in a while. I look forward to reading how scientist have progressed in regard to understanding the single greatest unknown in climatology: global cloud cover/equilibrium climate sensitivity.
Epic quote @10 min - I don't know everything, I have to read up!
There are many technologies such as direct air carbon capture, gen 4 nuclear reactors, perovskite solar cells, graphene, improved battery tech etc in research or infancy stage. The goal of the world should be to speed up the development of this technologies like we did with covid vaccines. Before covid it took atleast 3 yrs to develop a vaccine now it only took us 1 year to not only develop but also manufacture at scale. If we treat climate change as big of a emergency as covid it could easily be solved.
Few questions hope you'll cover it in the next episode
1. Climate Change have already been happening for billions of years without human interventions. So what's so different this time.
2. How much humans are actually contributing to the predicted rise in temperature.
3. Is coincidental rise in temperature and green house gas emissions enough to explain climate change like there are so many variables in real world.
4. Does shifting to renewables actually going to help. - mention some studies regarding this.
I like the good readable formating 👌 😀
Let me try to answer some of those question as there are all answered in the 'IPCC AR6 WG1' summary and FAQ already.
(Can recommend the download/ browsing)
1. The currently observed warming, combined with sealevel rise, glaciers and sea ice melt etc. is unprecedented since about 100000 years of earths history and the current observertations an models show an "unnatural" acceleration in the heating trend that cant be explained by any other process on earth or our solar system.
2. The multiple calculations are done with different parameters to compensated for uncertainties.
But yes we have a value
to quote the report:
"The likely range of total human-caused global surface temperature increase from (the average of) 1850-1900 to
(the average of) 2010-201911 is 0.8°C to 1.3°C, with a best estimate of >>>> 1.07°C
The IPCC report makes clear that climate change and temperature rise is inevitable. A poor country like India should focus its resources on mitigation. Our costal countries need a major infrastructure push to protect citizens from the inevitable increase in flooding!
One CTC should later be dedicated to our central and state govt's performance on climate front. You could cover the following points.
1. Bullet train will reduce air travel which has 50 times more emissions
2. But starting smaller airports will increase total air passengers (flight is 10x train emissions)
3. Tariff cuts and subsidies on electric vehicles
4. FDI relaxation on solar infrastructure
5. Reduced beef consumption which has 4-6 times chicken and almost 50 times plant based food emissions
6. Promotion of dairy farming which generally has very high emissions
7. Nuclear based power plants
8. Eased coal mining
9. Increased fuel taxes which is like carbon tax
10. Built metros which increases the share of people using public transport
I'm sure you have expert young journalists to do this research.
Very critical and important points I must say.
Mind blowing cut the clutter😅😅.... Thankyou sir🙏
Good effort by SGji, although away from politics, tried to articulate well in 25min.
Thank you sir for explaination ...🙏 Love from Assam
It's not time to discuss whataboutism, your videos are seen by educated people whose per capita is greater than 1.9, now everyone thinks Indians have the right to pollute.
I found this video really informative and correct so I shared it to many . I hope the print makes it more like these.
Even the issue that threatens the *entire* human race has been so politicized tells us how doomed we are.

Shekhar sir , if possible in coming days …please make a CTC on India ‘s foreign direct investments (including its regulation on NGO’s ) and what countries invest heavily in India and what is the reason !! Thanks for the opportunity!
Thank you for speaking on this
Superb Mr Gupta
21:00 , this jab was needed, they behave as of they're somehow superior to everyone.
It doesn't matter Sharad. Climate change doesn't care about world politics.
Fact of the matter is a lot of developed countries are shrinking carbon output YOY (could be faster) but developing countries like India / China continue to grow fast.
