Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Plain – Speaking Prakashbhai

 


 

Dear Shri Prakash Javadekarji,


You are that “ Prakash “ that has shed some “ light “ on WHO really are responsible for degradation of climate


Thank you for being blunt with those “ Climate Criminals

 

More than 5 years ago, I sent you following e-mail :


Saving the Current Generation………………………..[ 10 Dec 2015 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Dear Shri Javadekarji :

 

Right now you are in Paris, negotiating the Climate Control deal with 196 nations

 

Rich nations ( who are the root cause of today's looming threat ), will tell you :

 

" Prakash ,

 

You must convince your countrymen not to cut down trees, in order to get some fire-wood. By absorbing Carbon Dioxide and releasing Oxygen, trees are reducing the green-house gases and reducing global warming " 

 

I do hope your answer goes somewhat like this :

 

" Big Brothers ,

 

In my country, some 400 million poor people will go hungry without food if they cannot use firewood for cooking

 

You are worried about saving the coming generations - your great grand children

 

My countrymen need firewood to save themselves from getting extinct thru starvation

 

I am duty-bound to help them

 

But I don't have enough gas stoves, nor enough gas, to give them a substitute

 

The day you gift me 100 million solar powered " Chulas ( Stoves ) " and 100 million power-generating by-cycles ( type Manoj Bhargava has invented ), I will see to it that not a single tree gets chopped off in India

 

Please come back when you are ready "

Fast forward to 14th April 2021 ( 2 days ago )


At an event organized at the Embassy of France to mark French Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian’s visit to India , Shri Javadekarji said :


[ India won’t raise Climate Ambition under Pressure   /  HT – 15 April 2021 ]


Ø  Yes, we are suffering. We are seeing higher temperatures, unusual rain, hurricanes, frequency of such abnormal events has increased.


Ø  For 150 years, this has been happening because carbon emissions remain in the atmosphere for more than 150 years, so what we are suffering today was caused 150 years ago. The countries [of] EU [European Union], US and in the last 30 to 40 years China, they emitted and therefore the world is suffering, India is suffering

 

Ø  We cannot just forget, and we will not allow anybody to forget it. The historical emissions responsibility today of is,

          #   China   28%

          #   USA     40%

         #   Europe  10% , and

         #   India is only 3%.


Ø  We are not responsible for the climate change that is happening.


Ø  Where is the money ? There is no money in sight.


Ø  You have polluted, destroyed the world, and brought climate change. And now you are saying do not use coal. The alternative has to be cheaper than coal.


Ø  They should make technology at an affordable cost. Climate change is not a business. Fighting climate change is our duty. The world has agreed to supply anti-AIDS drugs at a lower cost because AIDS is a disaster.

Ø  We should not profit from a disaster…therefore, we will walk the talk, raise our ambition but not at the behest or [under] pressure from other countries,”  the minister added
