  1. We have over population Why people are having children they can’t afford Every city in the world have had to much migration where there all full and people are living on the streets There’s no turning back we where all warned but but the climate deniers from most conservative governments say there no climate change Well what is this

  2. I see people drinking coke which dehydrates you. I think all sugery drinks should be banned all over the world because we are using ground water at unprecedented rates. This will result in very little water in next few years. Why make beverages that dehydrate you when you need water for hydration.

  3. Information platform is a cryptography of money addresses runs smoothly in automation mode in alphabets numbers characters symbols images photos videos animation artificial intelligence is a infinity automatically time is sharing among decades century years months days hours minutes seconds automatically infinity subjects factorisation solves within same time automatically worldwide construction are made up of 12 commodities is called truth time

  4. Your Guest is wrong blaming everything on climate change. She can blame all she wants, we will still have draught, earthquakes, famine, etc…All the EV they force us to buy will do nothing. Wind Turbines, Heat pumps, cut out gas and oil will change nothing.

  7. So I read on Al Jazeera today 58 people died related to heat stroke in New Delhi.

    India has overtaken China as the country with the largest population in the world, with a population of 1,425,775,850 at the end of April 2023.

    So which is the MORE alarming number?

    See, I am worried that the Nature of the Planet is telling us something. And we are NOT listening.
    Well, Nature will sort this out. When the food supply crashes and the water resources are either gone or polluted, then how will we all eat and drink?

    I suspect that a consumptive society based on fossil fuels and industrial agriculture can not support 2.0 billion people. No, that's not a typo error.

    I fear we are heading right into a population crash in the next two generations. We can let nature do it for us.

    Or we can make changes NOW to our behavior. Any ideas how to change our behavior?

  8. Agricultural productivity is going to be hammered in Southern Asia this year. There are already a lot of food insecure people in the world and soon there will be a lot more. India just won’t be able to feed 1.5 billion people!

  9. What is Prime Minister Modi doing to address this problem? He seems to be a sure winner in the election results soon. But people need means in place to tackle this heat.

  10. Any surprise here ? like she says all this was predicted 30 years ago. Maybe Modi should take notice instead of pushing for more coal power plants.

  11. And one of that monsoon rain is being diverted to marshy areas to keep green growth and water table stability maintained. It is quickly diverted back into the ocean. Lower birth rate, better rain management, wiser building in dense areas will work wonders.
