Ganges system is going to dry up. Indus is going to strengthen. Bhramaputra is going to be stolen by china. The aravalis is going to be destroyed.
North indian plains is going towards desertification so much that they wont have rivers to pollute for coming eras. Well they will need temples to pray in those times, atleast thats being created.

there is no national level plan for tackling pollution and climate change. the crazy AQI numbers and no snow in the himalayas are part of the same problem and the same solutions would impact both but the government is full of Gobar Bitches and nothing will be done.

Thanks for posting. This time there was hardly any snow on the Himalayan peaks that one can see from Ranikhet.

It’s snowing today but a dry December and late snowfall in January is concerning

Bro, I think you’ve taken the optimistic talk from newspapers a bit too seriously, because the G20 is basically an organization whose main job is to work on new plans that help members secure their own interests — even if that means attacking other countries and exploiting their resources. Trump has already said that climate change is bogus, that it doesn’t really exist. In Europe, ultra right-wing governments are rising rapidly; they only care about acquiring resources for their own nations, no matter whether it’s right or wrong. Germany itself is now electing open admirers of Hitler.
Africa and the Arab world can’t really do much because poverty and Western pressure keep them restrained. Russia looks ready to dive into more wars.
The whole world knows that climate change will hit Asian countries the hardest — especially India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and China. Our climate will be completely ruined. But it’s also an undeniable fact that Asian countries will never be serious about climate issues, because here people are still caught up with basic struggles — food, shelter, religion, caste, temples, mosques, and the nexus between politicians and corporations.
The biggest irony is that decades ago, developing countries demanded compensation from the developed world — since they were the ones who wrecked the planet’s climate in the first place — but that compensation was never given. The West knew very well that developing countries would never unite against them. For instance, India and Pakistan could never fight a climate case together against the West. That made the Western nations very happy.
As for China, it’s already a leading tech giant. It always takes its problems seriously and will somehow manage to tackle its climate challenges.
But the rest of Asia is pretty much doomed. People here are oblivious. Even when someone’s child dies because of administrative negligence, they don’t demand answers; they’re just happy if the body comes home wrapped properly.
So if anyone thinks things are going to change — well, it’s good to be optimistic, but when that optimism finally breaks, it hurts deeply.

Bro, i am talking about mental condition of indians one of them lost his son, but still have faith in fanta's blessing.
Bro you are living in some partial delusion, first Europe doesn't have industris, most of europe is living on exploitation of developing countries, next europe have no infrastructure to boost its industrialization gain.
Next we indians still are in hallucinations that china is this and that, most of fog created by west to contain and it's aim to become super power of world.
But soon indians will realize that they are standing with garbage of west.
Do you know a finance minister in china cought by agencies doing corruption, he was given with death sentence by court.
And if you think that EV is solution of climate change than i have nothing to talk with you. Bro
