00:00You have heat waves that have never been seen before. People can't work in extreme weather conditions.
00:18Those are the people who work on the streets, on the roads, in open spaces, in factories.
00:23Temperature variation that India in particular is experiencing is twice the temperature variation that the rest of the world is
00:32experiencing due to climate change.
00:34Climate change will assault us right within our homes. It is doing that already.
00:41From lifestyle ailments like cancer, like heart disease, like kidney disease, to bacterial diseases like TB, to viral diseases, everything
00:52would be exacerbated by climate change.
00:56Three of your biggest metropolitan cities, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, are vulnerable to rising sea levels.
01:03When sea levels rise, they simply swallow up the city. That's it. Finished. Game up.
01:07The global average hike in temperature would be well beyond 3 degrees centigrade.
01:14And that would mean that the extreme hikes would run to 10 to 15 degrees also, especially in places like
01:22India.
01:22If the future will have any history, then history will look at this period, the 21st century, with great astonishment.
01:31We, who inhibit this century, will be seen as utter idiots, caricatures in the name of human beings.
