Acharya Prashant discusses the critical issue of climate change, noting that India often excuses its lack of action by pointing to the higher per capita emissions of Western nations. He highlights that state-owned enterprises like Indian Oil Limited are actually increasing fossil fuel refining capacity for the next decade rather than reducing it. Furthermore, he identifies Artificial Intelligence as a significant threat, calling it the last nail in the coffin for the climate crisis due to its immense and growing carbon emissions, which have destroyed hopes of halting the environmental collapse. He observes that while the West leads in voices for climate action, India remains internally stagnant, using modern technology while maintaining a mindset from the seventeenth century.
