- Horrific scenes coming out of Himachal Pradesh as it receives extreme rainfall. We must remember as the planet warms more, rainfall patterns are set to change drastically with more of these catastrophic intense events occurring. Easier to mitigate emissions than adapt, really!Age-restricted adult content. This content might not be appropriate for people under 18 years old. To view this media, you’ll need to log in to X.

- Welcome to a 50 degree world where the ACs you've installed to cool yourself will catch fire in the unbearable extreme heat. A 60°C world won't be many years away if emissions don't come down rapidly. Nothing can protect the planet from extreme heating except decarbonisation.🔴 #Breaking | An apartment building in Noida Sector-100 caught fire due to an air conditioner explosion. The incident occurred at Lotus Boulevard Society in Noida. No casualties have been reported. #Noida #FireAccident
00:00 - Saw a tweet on how taxi unions would’ve gotten justice for the victim of Delhi roof collapse and thinking of the number of movies that used to be made on unions/leaders as heroes in India till as recently as 90s and all that has since disappeared entirely, from movies & reality.
- Gifted storytellers (irrespective of medium) have enormous influence & are essential in shaping public opinion But when storytellers like Harari become an expert on everything there is from history to science to AI, it hurts our society in profound ways! currentaffairs.org/2022/07/the-da…
- Videos of students and teachers collapsing under heatwave in Bihar are extremely distressing. This is an alarming situation. Media reports the humidity was also quite high at 60 and 70%, making it feel like 55°C -ये बिहार है यहां एक अधिकारी मंत्री मुख्यमंत्री को किसी को लगाता नहीं …जब जो मन आये तुग़लकी फ़रमान जारी कर देता है ..ये दृश्य शेखपुरा ज़िले के सरकारी स्कूल के है चार दर्जन बच्चे बेहोश होकर अस्पताल में है लेकिन क्या मज़ाल कोई उन्हें डर से ये बतला सके तापमान 45 डिग्री है #Bihar
00:00 - There's a deep sense of sadness and loneliness seeing this record shattering graph. November 17, 2023 was the first day in recorded history when the earth's surface was a whole 2°C hotter than pre-industrial times. Yet, there's barely any chatter about this staggering breach.
- This girl’s handlers are relentless & will bring down the credibility of all other genuine climate activists in India. Her father is accused in several cases of colossal fraud and forgery and is suspected to be using the child for his benefit & scams. Despite several exposés 1/
- Just looking at the red dots(active fires) is giving me a proper headache. The Himalayan belt, Uttarakhand and Nepal, looks particularly dreadful. Apart from rains, nothing can stop these fires now I suppose. Source: NASA FIRMS
- This is pure madness. A witch-hunt meant only to intimidate young activists. What was so objectionable in the "toolkit"? That needs to be answered first! Non-bailable warrant against activist Nikita Jacob in Greta Thunberg ‘toolkit’ case
- “How do farmers speak English” is the new dumb equivalent of the old “how do refugees have smart phones”! Ridiculous how people need to fit in a certain stereotype before their valid demands are even considered.
- Delhi folks who are feeling the insane heat and are able to do more, please read up and do get involved with the climate movement. Trust me when I say this is nothing compared to what’s ahead. We have a LOT more to do in addition to planting/saving trees.
- Can I share something crazy that happened today? Irrespective of whether it works out or not, I'm flying high rn. I just got offered a grant, totally out of the blue to travel and write few stories about a sensitive, culturally rich and super remote area in the Himalayas.
- For the longest time, Ladakh was my one and only Himalayan love. But I'm totally falling for Uttarakhand these days and how! ;)
