00:00What would be India without the Himalayas? Come on, Himalayas without the glaciers are
00:06not just barren walls of rock. They are barren and continuously collapsing walls of rock.
00:16It cracks up and we are sitting just underneath that wall of ice. So when we say that the
00:22world is going to heat up by 1.5 degrees, the regions that are the most vulnerable and
00:30sensitive to the climate crisis, they are going to get heated up by 4 degrees, 5 degrees,
00:35even 8 degrees. Now can you imagine what 4 or 8 degrees temperature rise does to a massive
00:45bulk of ice? Obviously it cracks up. The actual act of dharma would today be to save the Himalayas.
00:57Don't scale them, don't climb them, first of all save them. Don't boast that you scaled
01:03them. Humbly try to save them. Otherwise they are going to turn into huge monuments of barren
01:13rock. That is happening at an astonishing pace and only accelerating each passing year.
