00:00Achare Ji, the carbon emission of India is way more less than USA and other countries.
00:05Sorry sir, look at the growth rates.
00:08What are you talking of?
00:09India is the third biggest emitter of carbon.
00:12You are probably talking of per capita emissions.
00:14A fellow comes from a small town to live in Bangalore.
00:17His carbon footprint probably increases five times.
00:20But you call it progress, you call it urbanization.
00:23A fellow gets a higher paying job and gets two more air conditioners.
00:26He has done his share of damage to the earth.
00:29But he will say, you know, this is progress.
00:31You cannot have the kind of per capita consumption of resources
00:36that probably the US currently has
00:39with the kind of population that India currently has.
00:43And that is catastrophic.
00:44If you want per capita consumption levels of the developed countries,
00:48then you reduce your population to the level of developed countries.
00:51You cannot have the population of India but the per capita consumption of Germany.
00:56Unfortunately, that is what we want.
