Acharya Prashant asserts that the media and politicians avoid the topic of climate change because the general public lacks the spiritual depth to engage with it. He explains that without an inner center or discernment, individuals are easily swayed by external propaganda and trivial issues. He emphasizes that while climate science is accessible and public, people remain indifferent because they are disconnected from their own truth. He argues that climate change is the most critical challenge facing humanity, and addressing it would resolve many other global problems that stem from the same source.
