Don't be surprised by individual instances of wildfires—these are going to become daily occurrences because they are a result of mankind's flawed life philosophy. So, the solution to climate change cannot come through new technologies, nor by signing some agreements. It can only come by inculcating wisdom in human beings, as without the right philosophy of life, we will keep exploiting the planet.

Questioner: Namaste Acharya Ji. Recently, the California wildfires were in the news and I was reading about them and they have been quite devastating and probably for the first time, I'm seeing that climate change is actually knocking at the doors of the affluent ones.
As of now, I see that there are 12,000 homes that have been destroyed completely, around 2,00,000 people have been displaced and the damages are being expected to be around 275 billion USD. And at the same time, I also saw in the news that last year in 2024, we exceeded the 1.5 degree temperature limit, as the scientists were predicting for climate change, if you want to control it.
So looking at all this news and everything that is going around, I was just thinking about where we are heading and what's going to happen for the future of this?
Acharya Prashant: My guess is as good as yours. The writing is on the wall. I don't think any of us need any special assistance now in reading it. It's not just about the 1.5-degree centigrade threshold being breached; in fact, they are going to take at least one decade and a half more to officially admit that as a climate pattern.
