Neonatal care, emergency surgeries, & vaccine storage depend on stable cooling

Equity gap: In India, AC ownership averages just 5% (2021): 13% in urban, 1% in rural; richest 10% own 72% of all ACs.

In contrast, 90% households in US & Japan have AC access

Energy challenge: GoI’s 2025 proposal—ACs to run at 20–28°C (default 24°C) → estimated saving: 20 billion units, ₹10,000 crore, 16 MT CO₂. But efficiency measures alone don’t address inequity

Outstanding, the official #BritCard press release cites #Denmark & #India without mentioning the hack or the data breach. People are not going to have fun with that, are they? They can’t even be bothered to run a Google search. The despair continues.

"If a member of the #SecurityCouncil violates the #UN Charter, it should lose its voting rights temporarily"

#AlexanderStubb is right but I'm pessimistic that the UN can change

The League of Nations died because it could not prevent #WWII. Likewise, the UN is toothless to prevent our current conflagrations

Let there be a new UN

#EU, #China, #Brazil, #India, #Indonesia, #AfricanUnion, #Egypt, #USA with veto power (just spitballing)

The Ganges River is drying at an unprecedented rate, new study finds

The Ganges River is in crisis. This lifeline for around 600 million people in India and neighboring countries is experiencing its worst drying period in 1,300 years. Using a combination of historical data, paleoclimate records and hydrological models, researchers from IIT Gandhinagar and the University of Arizona discovered that human activity is the main cause. They also found that the current drying is more severe than any recorded drought in the river's history.

Does this mean the world stops talking about equity in climate change? This is what USA has wanted for long. Its former President Donald Trump stretched it to the extreme — countries like India who want the right to development are the problem, he said. ‘USA must be allowed to pollute more because it is its birthright.’ This is what Trump meant. There is no doubt that equity is now passé in many ways

Climate change amplifies the crisis

Environmental pressures have intensified Telangana’s fluoride problem in recent decades

Erratic rainfall patterns, extended droughts & rising temperatures have forced communities to drill deeper borewells, tapping into older groundwater reserves with higher fluoride concentrations

A 2024 Government of India survey results paint a stark picture: 14.87 per cent of over 1,150 groundwater samples exceeded the safe fluoride limit
