00:00Well, we haven't even finished the first quarter of 2023 and we're already seeing freak weather
00:09phenomenons in many parts of the world. You would have noticed that California, which
00:13normally has mild weather throughout the year, had massive snowstorms in the United States
00:18while the East Coast, which should have had freezing temperatures, had this balmy, summery
00:22kind of weather. England has been facing icy snowstorms when it should be more springtime
00:28in terms of temperatures. And here in India, we've already seen heatwaves. In fact, the
00:35Indian Met Department has warned that we should be prepared for a series of heatwaves in the
00:39country between March and May this year. The situation is so serious that Prime Minister
00:45Modi recently chaired a meeting of top officials to review India's preparedness for this.
00:50Now, scientists say that a lot of this has to do with climate change. And there are concerns
00:55that this year could end up being the hottest on record.
