In response to a question about the IPCC report on climate change and India's environmental goals, Acharya Prashant points out the stark contradictions in the official data. He notes that while the IPCC recommends drastic reductions in greenhouse gases, India's own targets, such as becoming coal-free by 2070, are impossible given that the government plans to generate 50% of its electricity from coal by 2050. He dismisses concerns about personal future security, like having children for support in old age, by posing the rhetorical question: "Are we even going to reach old age?" He argues that humanity is living under a delusion, worrying about distant personal futures while ignoring the imminent, catastrophic threat to our collective survival. Acharya Prashant explains that the official figures on global warming are misleading. The temperature has already risen by 1.5 to 2 degrees, not the reported 1.17 degrees. He warns that a 4-5 degree rise within our lifetime, possibly in the next 10-20 years, will have devastating consequences. This increased energy in the atmosphere will manifest as extreme weather events, such as unstoppable rains and destructive storms. He states that our infrastructure, including electricity transmission lines, air conditioners, and even cars, is not designed to withstand such conditions and will fail. The poorest humans and countless animal species will face mass death and extinction. He further elaborates on the cascading effects of climate change. The melting of glaciers and deforestation will release dormant viruses and bacteria, some of which have been stored for millions of years. Humanity will have no immunity, vaccines, or medicines for these, potentially leading to thousands of pandemics far worse than COVID-19. He also discusses the collapse of the Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current, which will paradoxically make Northern Europe colder while making tropical countries like India even hotter. The economic impact will also be severe, with India's GDP projected to fall by 35%. He concludes by stating that all our systems—biological, social, and technological—are not built to handle this crisis, which we have foolishly inflicted upon ourselves.
