- The largest population of the world is going to the polls. Green growth and dirty coal, Prime Minister Modi was pushing for both in recent years. Despite being highly impacted by climate change there is little excitement for green policies.

Germany increased its coal production after shutting down its nuclear production !
@@PolsonVivekfunny cause people vote in India purely based on economic policies.
83 of the most polluted cities in the world are in India . Germany's coal production is almost marginal in comparison and doesn't affect its population.
@@xcel5203 yes because Germany, in fact, the whole of Europe did massive damage to the environment during the Industrial Revolution in 1800s. During development, there will be no way to avoid pollution unless people start cooperating without looking at loss or profit, and that won't happen. It's a big topic and blaming one country will not solve a problem. The whole world wants to have nuts, bolts, spoons, tables, buckets, and clothes which are mass-produced in developing countries and then they starts blaming India and China for no reason.
@@sniper0X Unfortunately this will now only adversely affect countries like India which are highly polluted and are dependent upon industrial activity for survival. We can see the terrible effects that it is having on the health of the population.
@@xcel5203 when you take in terms of per capita, average germans release 5 times more than Indians. Why does the EU and germans have such double standards?
India is doing good in renewable despite its low per capita income
😅🤣😂
Lol
Yes lecture Indians on Going green after centuries of using coal and oil for fueling your economy 😂
Still not objectively wrong
@@angelantayhua3096objectively even russia is not wrong.
The amount of plastic in Germany I used in last 5 year is must be twice that I used in India over 30 years.
Yes absolutely agree
And you will also not see the plastic on their streets , on their trains. Or also on their public properties, this is the difference between an European country and india....
@@abhayyyy15they will just ship it to Eastern Europe or to landfills in Africa and Asia
@@naruvimamano one is forcing these countries to accept their thrash. It's these countries who are accepting their garbage, cleaning it and returning everything good to them
@@abhayyyy15 they charge Rs 23 security on every plastic bottle.
Is it possible in india?
Consider the education and population size.
I am not defending India. India should improve in cleanliness but this video is about climate change not cleanliness.
Also ask Taylor Swift should stop using private jets to step out of her house
Next go after Elon
Germany is too obsessed with modi just like their German shepherd 😂😂
The Jesuits love poking their noses in everyone’s business
Check the percentage of electrified trains in Germany and India 🇮🇳 ❤
😂 why did germany shut down nuclear and increased coal?
Because election there is just a formality.
Germany is supposed to reduce the using of plastic imported from china then should give advice to another 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your country can't even electrified your railways and you are giving lecture to India 😂😂😂
I think Germany should be more worried about the Demographic change due to immigration in their own country rather than giving lecture about the climate change to India
😁😂😁😂
Europe: Give us attention
India: mmm... let's see ( don't care... huh )
And yet you are here...
So we apparently are getting your attention.
@@militant_pacifist Our attention doesn't matter. Its about our government's attention. Double standard western world opinion on India's election issues.
now Germany will tell us about energy and climate change 😂😂
Lets look at the carbon footprint of individual germans before accusing India.
We export 3 times the volume of India.
The energy for that has to come from somewhere.
And you reap the benefits of it economically.
We also aspire to be as rich as Germans, and also emit as much CO2 as a avg German does.
[Almost 5.6 times an avg Indian]
@@militant_pacifist
@@militant_pacifist Germany is a very developed country, it can easily afford shifting to renewable, but still it's far behind than even countries like China, India in terms of renewable adoption, but still thinks that they have the authority to lecture others
@@Prakhar2410 Funnily enough Germany is moving in the right direction in stark contrast to China.
Germany cut emissions by a quarter since 2000 while China increased their emissions by 250%.
Even if we'd put in our best effort, we couldn't even come close to doing as much damage as China is doing. Germany is at 38% renewables, China at 23%. While in Germany coal makes up less than a fifth of energy supply it makes up more than half in China.
Practically all the same stats apply to India, except that India is responsible for far less emissions than China.
So yes, we absolutely have the right to lecture and we will continue using it.
We are far ahead of India and China in decarbonizing our energy supply.
As if Germany is doing so much better for climate change 😂😂😂😂
DW seems to be obsessed with India 😂
Climate change don't play a big role in India because India is leading the way in achieving UNFCCC Paris agreement set in COP21. Far ahead of these western country and definitely much ahead of Germany. So mind your business and work on your part which seems missing rather than lecturing others on it.
Moral policing and cherry picking. India has 17 percent of worlds population so it should technically emit 17 percent of worlds greenhouse gases but it only emits 7 percent. On the one hand you are telling to get rid of poverty in India and on the other hand you are telling to deindustrialise. I think DW needs to get its agenda straight that 3rd world countries should remain in absolute poverty so that 1st world can emit as much as they can.
US has 1/4th the population of India and yet 2X the emissions which means the carbon footprint of an avg American is 8 times that of an Indian
If you take india carbon emissions from its independence then we do not stand in top 30
And if you compare it with per person carbon emissions we don't stand at top 50
Why you always lecture us , when every country uses coal for economic development it's good and when we uses its is called as climate disaster
Hypocrisy is next level
Indians will talk about climate when we have a per capita emissions similar to europe.
1.40 billion people don't care about climate. There are other more serious issue that needs attention
Germany Per capita emissions is about 5 times than that of a average Indian.
5 TIMES
Recently Germany fired up many decades old Coal Powerplants.
Although India could be more ambitious in their net zero target, 17% of world's population is being responsible for 7% of global emissions. It's only rational that they should consume 10% more, or those who're consuming more bring down their share. Or am i missing something?
India needs to get richer before it can clean the environment. That's the lesson from all industrialized countries. US had polluted air and water and many industrial accidents. Cities and rivers burned at the turn of the last century in the US. It's only when the US was able to afford to clean up the environment that it did so. The number one priority is growth, maximum growth for India. Absolutely nothing can get in the way of growth. India needs to get at least five times richer than today before you see meaningful reductions in air and water pollution.
yes, you can't develop into an advanced economy without building plants and factories.
I agree with you, except we must already be reaching part of net zero while growing, and not start thinking by the time or after we reach our economic goals.
Richer would mean cheaper energy which means the world needs to advance nuclear to scale which will make it cheaper for India, African countries, and South America. Cheaper energy means clean water, desalinated water, both lead to better health and proproductivity. It's being worked on but has bad PR, made worse by Germany.
Why climate does (not) matter in Indian elections - it doesnt matter to NATO either with its escalation of war. What is the carbon footprint of the wars in Afghan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Ukraine?
In Japan, a fire broke out in an area of solar power generation panels last month, and the measures were taken to wait for it to burn out because it could not be extinguished. The reason why the fire could not be extinguished was because if water or extinguishing agent were poured on the fire, harmful substances would mix with the burned panels and seep into the soil, making it impossible for the soil to regenerate. Therefore, the problems of invisible solar panels, cost, natural environment, China's information exploitation regarding panel control, and the disadvantage that functions can be stopped from the Chinese side have become major issues, leading to lawsuits all over Japan. This is the current situation.
Tax against minorities ? Please re check before publishing the news.
someone needs to sue this company for this.
Looks like DW forgot which country was the root cause of damaging environment the most by raging two of the most disastrous conflicts in the history of the manking🤣😂
Hi DW news,
Can you provide details on statement "tax against minorities" which you reported at 6:44 of this video. I am living in India but did not came across this.
As long as Germany is running on coal India doesnt have to do anything.
Yea right, before developing an economy on cheap coal and oil and gas telling them to develop expensive green energy
last thing global south is expecting from west is lectures climate and pollution
This media house has the audacity to portray Hindus national cause but why not mention about Paris agreement?
India has achieved before time to what it had committed. So it isn't tough task to achieve net zero carbon before its projected timeline despite of its 1.4 billion growing population.
Western media: Hypocrisy is our birthright!!
India during COP26 Summit: Pay me 1 trillion dollars
Why did the video hover over a nuclear energy image while saying "the dirtiest forms of energy"?
Can America go to germany or India? Look like good countries.
We are going to suffer more
Despite the apparent targeting of India as the culprit for climate change and avoiding the mention of cumulative harm done to the earth by developed nations. The rest of the video is pretty decent; it has covered the general trend of the state of green initiatives in India (though they managed to push modi-basing in the middle).
Yes india going more into solar ,wind energy but its not enough and need to put more money on this to compete with China.
Look who are saying. using asia for manufacturing goods .put factory for their needs .were 20 % European using 60 % of world resources...
If toilets do not matter to them, what is climate? 😏🤔🤭😅
Our country's population is 145 crore, Germany's population is very less compared to India
India is doing very good in terms of its population I wish i could say the same for Europe where climate change is more political than actual real action
We have talked about climate change problem since years but not done much...
The answer is to bring about change in election process.
Voting through online mode for everyone.
Rallies to be online only.
And many more...
Meanwhile Germany is asking US to whether supply Taurus missiles to Ukrain or not
No country can ignore in 21century .
We India have Biggest market of World present and in Future and have the youngest population country with middle income country.
We have more powercuts thann ever just now. Greetings from India
Climate Change isn't an election issue because there is a bipartisan political consensus on this issue. We need to switch to cleaner energy sources with time is agreed to by all.
Climate change and industrialization will make India uninhabitable. There will be a huge Indian migration to the West real soon.
Our 2075 commitment is far to generous the amount of damage western countries did to climate they should have stop exhaleing
It makes me so happy that europe is not happy with modi and all european and american news outlets in unison say against modi, it means it's not bending to its terms. That's great. A prime minister or a party cannot be perfect. But atleast it's the best we had since a long time undoubtedly.
Hindi, Hindu, Hindutva
🙏🙏🙏
Sure rest of us kannadigas, telugus, tamilians, mallus, marathis, gujus and all r what not indians? Or only hindi speaking hindu r indians? Dont divide us like Imperial britishers did in 1944. Lets be united as indians
What do you do when an entire society still remembers a time when electricity and basic goods weren’t plentiful. Even if this society is educated about climate change, most will prefer continuing economic growth instead of shifting towards climate and simultaneously jeopardizing all that growth
Our Santana Dharma allows use of all energy sources to praise our Gods. Why are Germans worried about it.
Biggest power of the india is their people of 1.4 billion people with goog PURCHASING POWER CAPACITY
Due to Coriolis effect, the nearer you are from the equator more you likely to face the effect of climate change
Lecturing?
Cause We Aren't Devloped Enough To Think About That You Are Devloped nation we are developing so how can our problems be same 😅😂
Dw problem Indian growth heart' Germany dw news . recently written titles ind overtake japan 1year after Germany also back IND gdp . conolial mindset dw news
When leaders are greedy for power and filling their own pockets why will they care for social and environmental issues which should have been core issues. We need transparency to limit the illegal practices taking place. Boasting about being the fifth largest economy and third largest in the future when the ground reality is different w.r.t. the standard of living.
Nah I don't care about air pollution I just want electricity in cheap rate it's doesn't matter for me if this electricity was made by coal or solar power panels.
For that standard of living you need energy, infrastructure. And it causes emissions. So don’t just go around lecturing if you dont have solutions. Its just like Paris summit where rich industrialised countries telling poor countries to cut down emissions so that they can drive there million hp monster trucks and use air conditioning all around the year.
Just focus on Europe problem, and dont interfier in our election
I'am glad i live in Norway 👍 i hate heat. What's gonna happen here With climate change. A lot more down pore, which translate to much more money(hydopower)
German Shephard in action again 😂
Jandewalan hanuman mandir I noticed.
India and China are laughing, while the west scorns it's technology and innovation. These two will begin to attain more powerful abilities.
Climate matters no election in the world.
6:44 What did he just says, tax against minority.
I think it was attacks against minorities. I also heard tax first 😂
look at per capita energy consumption India ranks 104th in the world we are still a poor nation and we need the energy to grow if Europe and America are so worried let us be a part of the nuclear supplier's group and share the IP's related to nuclear energy production this can be the only way forward Indian population is less then 1/5 the of USA they consume more fossil fuel then us then too we are polluting environment
You failed to mentioned that India refused to sign the COP28 Declaration on Climate and Helath and did not participate in the first/ever Health Day organized at the summit.
India is not alone responsible for climate change still western countries produce more green house gas compare to India.
India with 3.8 Trillion GDP produced 176 GW of green energy while Germany being a 5 trillion dollar GDP could generate only 167 GW of green energy. Is that how developed Germany tackles climate change while lecturing developing countries like India.
India's per capita Emission is 1.9 Tonnes per person while Germany is emitting at a rate of 8.9 tonnes/person. Please bring your emissions down before lecturing India on climate change. Till then India will not sign any declaration.
@@HAWAIIAN_SERINDIPITY compare the population of India against Germany
@@batosato So just because we have a high population we ought to become carbon negative while you people continue to emit high amount per person carbon which is equivalent to emissions of 4 people in India. Is that what you are trying to say ?
This is also not covering all the historical emissions during the industrial revolution of Europe. You did what you did, we would do what we gotta do. Save the moral lectures to yourself and reduce your emissions.
The colonial mindset of moral policing will not go away.....they can't stay developing country grow
We don't care about Germany elections ,why do u bother dear friends 😂.
If you want to contribute towards improvement of India ,there are certainly better ways than to keep telling our mistakes.
It's very easy to lecture being a 60000 USD PCI country to a country where 1.4 billion people live with 2500 USD PCI.
Trust me you can't run it even for one day.
Stupiditiy manufactured on an industrial scale.
Worry about your german economy which is in shambles
Europe 😂😂😂
How can climate change impact the elections when almost two-third of voters are neither well informed of the issues nor any politicians talk of the impact of climate chnage.
and the carbon emission of these two-third voters is negligible. What do you want? do you want to heckle them for the thing that they aren't doing?
@@ManojSingh-bg9ue every nation is equally responsible . Blaming is not the solution i agree to what you just mentioned but we must also remember collective responsibility .
@@simonafha8325every nation is not equally responsible. Most of the people from west emit way more carbon while telling others to reduce their emissions. Just to give you ex, canada - 15.22 tones/person, Australia- 15.12, usa -14.44, germany -8.16. On the other hand India emits just 1.91 tones per capita. So if you are from any of the western nations you are at least 4 times more responsible than me for climate change at this moment. And I am not even talking about the historical emissions, if that is taken into account then this will be even worse
@@simonafha8325 Okay, what more can they do? They don't use AC; instead, they use fans. They don't use cars; instead, they use motorcycles or bicycles. They don't use the shower; instead, they use a bucket of water, etc. I can go on and on and give hundreds of examples. The responsibility lies with people who are actually responsible for the climate change, not with those who have nothing to do with it and don't have a global platform like DW to share their perspective with the world.
So you mean india should not contribute to climate actions. This attitude is what makes india sic
Don’t cry….its not gonna affect the election result….modi will win😂😂😂
forget about the environmental issues in india, even massive unemployment and malnutrition are not an issue with india election. this is india and for india only! 1.4 billions indians are no joke!
Hmm

hypocrisy at its peak
foren country not decide what india issu
Coz identity and religion politics more important than survival
Lol no, in India to have 24 hours electricity in urban areas and not have power cuts like a decade or two ago is to get reliable cheap energy i.e., Coal.

Look in mirror german.
Modi bots are very environmentally friendly tho. They recycle the same talking points in every single video here
So much obsession with modi.. is he your lost dad who didn't came back with milk?
@himan It's weird when the obsessed talk about obsession
@@HimanshuMahajan-zn3nq maybe his mom n wife r also a fan of Modi lol
@@HimanshuMahajan-zn3nq Modi supporters are really sensitive.
You sure it's not a sore topic?
Yet such videos are made proving they still need to say out❤
Over simplified answer: development is costly and energy-hungry. "Developed" nations had their moment in history when they consumed and burnt fossil fuels to feed economic development. Now that the "developing" nations are, well, developing, no one can fault them when they go the same path of consuming fossil fuels.
That is all.
Tusk! Tusk! Another recycled waste like David Cameron.
These guys need to slow down their population growth, there are already too many 7/11s around my area.
Actually the population is already decreasing as our Fertility rate already fell below 2 last year..It's just that no census being held obviously for political reasons
This channel needs to ban in our nation
Need solve toilet problems for everybody before climate change 🤔
Agenda...
India's per capita GDP is only about $2,000, which is one of the lowest income countries in the world.
Poverty is too serious in India,
the Indian government should solve the livelihood problems, like toilets, hygiene, train, income first instead of going to the moon.
$2,700 actually, yeah but still very low.
Ironically, the original race to the moon actually helped improved health and hygiene back on Earth.
USSR should have focused on improving standards of living instead of investing in the space race. America should have spent money on reducing racial inequality instead of investing in the space race. If you go by this logic humans should not to bother with space unless Earth is a perfect paradise for every single human.
Germany should first became a sovereign nation before giving human rights lectures to independent countries
When you don't know E of economics..u blabber this shjt
Is the climate a topic in the next elections in the USA, today the largest producer of fossil fuels?🤔
No tax on minorityies, your chennel is west propegenda against India
India 3.8 Trillion gdp.. 176 Gw green energy.
GERMANY 5 Trillion Gdp.. 167 Gw but makes videos on others. 😂😂😂
True...
India's per capita Emission is 1.9 Tonnes per person while Germany is emitting at a rate of 8.9 tonnes/person. Please bring your emissions down before lecturing India on climate change.
Modi is illiterate what else do you expect 😂
There is _no_ climate conversation in India beyond the NGO space. So obviously it is not a public issue. If most people have to live and work in polluted, hot, unclean, cramped spaces to make a living, where is the luxury to examine and analyse surroundings? Even in the US there are so many climate-change deniers...
West should be last one to preach India about climate change we all know per capita carbon footprint by Western countries is far more than India first Western countries like Germany usa uk need to work on their climate change promise than preach India
Nobody is preaching it in the U.S.. We dont care either.
Germany should not insult our super power country by telling the truth. 😂
More like it should not preach when its house is made of glass
you are saying as if your masters in Germ - any will wage a war against india just because of climate change, you should better think about employement🤣😂
