Acharya Prashant highlights the severe lack of awareness regarding the climate crisis in both political and public spheres. He notes that politicians openly sharing images of meat consumption reflects a deep ignorance of the environmental consequences. He asserts that the climate crisis is the most catastrophic challenge facing humanity today, with meat consumption being the second largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, following only fossil fuels. He emphasizes that the current heatwaves and extreme weather events are direct results of this crisis, which disproportionately affects the poor.
