Acharya Prashant highlights the catastrophic consequences of climate change, emphasizing that it is not merely a slight rise in temperature but a shift toward extreme weather events. He explains that the human body, particularly in India, is genetically adapted to specific temperature ranges, and exceeding these limits leads to severe physical and mental distress. He warns that as the planet heats up, human violence, crime, and social instability will increase. He specifically points out the vulnerability of the Himalayan region, describing the mountains as 'young fold mountains' that are still forming and are highly susceptible to landslides and disasters. He notes that nearly half of India's climate-related disasters occur in this region, which acts as a crucial barrier for the monsoon; a drought in the Himalayas would lead to a water crisis across North India.
