Acharya Prashant explains that global warming is not just an external environmental issue but a reflection of the internal state of the human mind. He describes the 'fever' of the earth as a direct consequence of the internal 'fever' or restlessness within humans. While scientific data and political treaties like the Kyoto Protocol or Paris Accord focus on statistics and greenhouse gases, they fail to address the root cause: human consumption and population growth. He highlights that feedback cycles in nature, such as melting ice exposing heat-absorbing soil, have already been triggered, making the situation critical and potentially leading to human extinction within decades.
