Acharya Prashant responds to a question about raising awareness for climate change without causing fear. He explains that simply telling people to heal the climate or make the world a better place only arouses a little interest because everyone is caught up in their own personal problems, desires, ambitions, and fears. Instead, he proposes telling people to heal their own conscience, life, and mind, as they would be far more interested in that. If people take care of their inner lives, the climate will be automatically taken care of as a consequence. The speaker asserts that climate change is nothing but a consequence of how we are on the inside. He suggests treating the inside and keeping the climate agenda aside for a while, not to neglect it, but to address the root cause. He explains that a person who is not contented within is the one who emits a lot of smoke and burns fossil fuels. This internal fever shows up as an increase in external temperature. The entire ecosystem is constructed to feast on our sickness, hollowness, and vulnerabilities. The system is a predator, not a doctor, and it's a philosophical confusion to think otherwise. He points out that people want to be better, as evidenced by the large market for self-help literature. The climate does not deteriorate on its own; we do a lot to destroy it. The Earth's atmosphere has acted like an infinite sink for millennia, but our emissions have grown to an extent that the atmosphere is proving inadequate. This is driven by a philosophy that defines a good life by how much one produces, earns, and consumes. If this fundamental definition of a good life is distorted, there is no hope. The only hope is to show people an alternative. He concludes with the example of relationships: a love-deficient relationship becomes carbon-intensive, requiring travel and consumption, whereas a real relationship between real individuals has both real love and a very small carbon imprint.
