00:00It is the sixth mass extinction currently happening.
00:10Medical costs, costs to agriculture, costs to informal economy, costs to infrastructure,
00:16costs even in terms of your defense preparedness.
00:20Think of the farmer, think of the crop, think of the entire ecosystem,
00:24think of the insect responsible for pollination.
00:28Would they survive? Think of the rivers.
00:3060% of the population will have nothing to feed itself.
00:33And if they have nothing to feed themselves, what will they do?
00:35They will rush towards other places.
00:37Now think of mass migration, now think of unemployment,
00:40now think of not just mass migration, that's a very meek word.
00:44This is called total displacement of large chunks of populations.
00:48Who will go and eat in a restaurant?
00:50Who will take a taxi? Who will hire a cook or a gardener?
00:54Who will travel to tourist places?
00:56So what will happen to the service industry?
00:58What economy are we talking of?
01:00People think that the economy can keep not just afloat but growing irrespective of climate change.
01:05And we have not yet addressed the medical costs.
01:08From lifestyle ailments like cancer, like heart disease, like kidney disease,
01:14to bacterial diseases like TB, to viral diseases, everything would be exacerbated by climate change.
01:22What economic growth?
01:24India's economic heart is Mumbai.
01:26And we know by how many centimeters the sea level has already risen.
01:31What will happen to Mumbai?
01:32Three of your biggest metropolitan cities, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, are vulnerable to rising sea levels.
01:39And vulnerability again is such a soft word.
01:42When sea levels rise, they simply swallow up the city.
01:45That's it.
01:46Finished.
01:47Game up.
01:48If there is a future, the future will remember us.
01:50These were the idiots.
01:52Namaste Acharya Ji.
01:53I am Vishnu and I have started visiting to your sessions from a session in IIT Bombay that I attended as a student.
02:02So my question is mostly on climate change.
02:06Like when we do talk to people on climate change, we most often, you know, come across a lot of climate deniers who treat climate change as a focus.
02:14So here, my question is mostly revolving around what is the proof that we should give to them to challenge their stance and educate them about the seriousness about the issue that we are facing.
02:29Welcome.
02:30You come from just the right place.
02:34You see, the proof that you need to give is not subtle, not immaterial, nothing hidden from the eyes.
02:51It is all available in the research reports.
02:58It's all over the internet.
02:59It's there in the news.
03:01So all that is there.
03:02It's just that because the media does not highlight it that much.
03:10So you have to dig a little for the news and the proofs that climate change is actually happening and not just happening.
03:23The change is actually at a pace that even scientists had not anticipated.
03:32Usually, we put it in this way that by 2025, 1.3 degrees plus minus 0.4 degrees temperature change is expected or apprehended.
03:48The scientists tend to put it conservatively.
03:57That's their job.
03:59They are not meant to create sensations.
04:03But even the scientific estimates are being exceeded.
04:15And we have more proofs than we can tolerate from all over the world.
04:24You have so much from India, you have so much from US, Europe, Australia, Mexico, China, all parts of the world are experiencing once in a century kind of extreme weather situations.
04:41So, we have proofs galore and US you had this January wildfires in California, right?
04:56And why exactly did that happen?
04:59That happened because first of all, there was too much heat that resulted in the forest bed turning extremely dry.
05:13That also meant that the leaf fall was more than usual.
05:22And more heat in the atmosphere also means that the wind velocity is more than usual.
05:30Heat is energy.
05:31Energy results in greater wind speed.
05:34So, more heat, more dryness, less rainfall and higher wind speed.
05:42And you had unprecedented wildfires in California.
05:50And that was on the west side.
05:53Now, these months on the east side, you have heat waves that have never been seen before.
06:02The New York area and other places, right this month, June, sweltering.
06:12Closer home India, the first four months of this year were some of the hottest months in the last 100-125 years.
06:28The first four months.
06:32And then in the fifth month, suddenly you had just so much rainfall.
06:39So, it was the, it was the wettest month over a long period.
06:46And all of that wreaked havoc on the economy, on public health, on everything that is exposed to the elements of nature.
06:58Even on employment.
07:01Because people can't work, the informal economy can't work in extreme weather conditions.
07:10Those are the people who work on the streets, on the roads, in open spaces, in factories.
07:17And we are yet not talking of agriculture.
07:24We are talking of the economy being exposed to the elements.
07:30And we are not talking of agriculture, which is still more than 50% of India's economy.
07:35In terms of participation of workforce.
07:42So, there has been massive damage across the world.
07:48It's been raining in Madras, in Tamil Nadu.
07:54When, that part is not supposed to receive much rain as of now.
08:03And these kinds of unseasonal rains and also dry spells are being experienced throughout the country.
08:09Why?
08:10We don't want to look at it.
08:16But the temperature variation that India in particular is experiencing.
08:23It's twice the temperature variation that the rest of the world is experiencing due to climate change.
08:29We know the global average temperatures have gone to more than 1.5 degrees centigrade above normal now.
08:41We know that.
08:42But even this rise is not a uniform rise.
08:48This rise is much more skewed towards the Indian subcontinent.
08:52India, Pakistan, Bangladesh.
08:55So, temperatures have risen everywhere.
08:58But they have risen much much more in India.
09:01Both the temperatures and the extreme weather events.
09:06And the highs as well as the lows.
09:14The number of people who suffer from heat strokes this year.
09:18All this is in the public domain.
09:20How do people claim that they are unaware of climate happenings.
09:26Would remain a puzzle to me.
09:29We understand the media does not quite emphasize on that.
09:38But still, it's all around us.
09:41In many cases, the evidences would be present within the household, in the family.
09:47How does one gloss over?
09:48How does one gloss over?
09:50This is just self-deception.
09:56Self-deception equable to criminal negligence.
10:04In fact, there was this list of very, very prominent weather events across the world.
10:20So, I'm going to bring my folder.
10:21I'm going to bring my folder.
10:23I'm going to bring my folder.
10:25I'm going to bring my folder in under my folder.
10:26I'm going to bring my folder in under my folder.
10:43So, I'm going to bring my folder in the building.
10:49I have already talked of this one, New York, Boston, Philadelphia.
11:11The eastern part of the US, they are experiencing massive heat.
11:24There is a heat dome and the nights are failing to cool.
11:28How is this something so private, so hidden, so confidential that people claim that they don't know of it?
11:38How do we feign such ignorance? This is there.
11:44So, the East Coast, it's experiencing a massive heat wave that is there.
11:49This one, yes, UK.
11:52South East England, South East England and England is colder than the US, right?
12:04Even among the European countries, England is one of the colder ones.
12:1432 degrees centigrade in England.
12:23This kind of an event should ideally be so improbable that it should occur only once in 2500 years.
12:3532 degrees in England.
12:45That's hot even by standards of some of the Indian states.
12:50For example, 32 degrees in Uttarakhand or Himachal would be taken as hot.
13:00And you have that temperature in UK, that has become 100 times more probable now.
13:06How do we say that climate change is something of the future?
13:18Then it's a distant happening. It is right here upon us.
13:22It's the Anthropocene. We are in the middle of it. It's happening.
13:28Just that we are pretending that it's a little thing or it's something that we will be able to avoid personally and for our families.
13:46Wishful thinking.
13:49This is something of the elements. It is something of the air.
13:59We are talking of CO2 PPM, massively increasing in the air, increasing by 80%.
14:06It is something of the air.
14:08And how will you avoid the air from entering your house?
14:12Climate change will assault us right within our homes.
14:21It is doing that already.
14:23Just that right now, the most underprivileged ones are bearing the brunt.
14:32So, the luckier ones are able to afford negligence.
14:39Not that they don't really know, but they are able to somehow afford keeping the knowledge aside for a while.
14:48Let's see for how long can they pretend such ignorance.
14:58This is May 2025 and over the last 12 months, starting from May last year that is.
15:09The number of, the average number of heatwave days across the world has risen by 30.
15:23So, on an average, if a place used to have 15 days of heatwaves, that place has now 45 days of heatwaves.
15:33If a place used to have 60 days of heatwaves, that place now has 90 days of heatwaves.
15:41And we are saying there is no proof.
15:44The proof is staring us in the face.
15:47Soon it will stab us in the heart.
15:50This year, April was so hot, that in India, the average temperatures in the north spiked 5 to 8 degrees above the seasonal average.
16:15We are not talking of 1.5 degrees increase here.
16:19Because that 1.5 degree figure is a little comforting.
16:24You say 1.5 degrees isn't much, is it? No?
16:28But 1.5 degrees is the average hike.
16:33The felt hike is different across different places.
16:39In India, it was 5 to 8 degrees above normal this very year.
16:44Human beings are not meant to survive when their normal ambient temperature is disrupted to this extent.
17:00And let's not talk only of human beings.
17:03Birds, animals, all other creatures are designed by evolution to survive only within narrow temperature ranges.
17:16You exceed that temperature range on either side and the organism either won't survive or won't reproduce or its population would drastically shrink.
17:36Coral bleaching, 80 to 90% of the coral reefs now stand bleached.
17:47Now stand bleached because of carbon dioxide, because of temperature.
17:52And that is a massive blow to the aquatic ecosystems.
17:59Because the coral reefs are hubs of biodiversity.
18:04When we talk of their bleaching, we say now they have been turned white.
18:12Why have they been turned white?
18:14Because their colour came from the life forms that stuck to them, that were present there.
18:23All those life forms are now gone.
18:25So what you see is just dead whiteness.
18:28That's coral bleaching.
18:30California wildfires, all too well known.
18:41Greece wildfires.
18:43We also had the Australian wildfires, right?
18:46That was last year.
18:47China, Mexico storms, unprecedented storms.
18:52And NASA finally, the report saying that the frequency of both droughts and floods have doubled over the last 10 to 20 years.
19:08And if this looks very distant because it is very global, then India.
19:17Yes, I said the number of heat stroke cases has been increasing.
19:24The report here has the exact number.
19:28India has had the longest heat wave since 2010.
19:36And the second longest heat wave in the last 50 years.
19:43The number of heat stroke cases this year was 44,000.
19:52This number exceeds the number we have ever experienced.
19:58This is a World Meteorological Organization report.
20:13Now next, we have a CEEW study which says 57% of Indian districts.
20:20And these are the most densely packed districts.
20:23Most of them in North India.
20:26These 57% Indian districts are home to 76% of Indian population.
20:32They are at a very high risk of extreme heat.
20:34It's exacerbated by rising nighttime humidity which blocks relief from daytime peaks.
20:40And this is what is contributing to more and more heat stroke cases.
21:05So, are there proofs not available in the public domain?
21:10There are, obviously.
21:15The proofs are there if you search on the net.
21:21The proofs are there if you utilize an AI model.
21:26And the proofs are there if you just open your eyes and look around yourself.
21:33But, you know, as they say, it's very difficult to wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.
21:48So, that's what we have across the world today, especially in India.
21:58And Acharya, when we do provide these proofs, there are two obvious, you know, logics that come up.
22:04They say that, you know, you're like presenting a pessimistic view and like we believe in the human capability to adopt to every challenge that comes.
22:12Like we have faced a lot of challenges.
22:15No, no.
22:16It is not a question of belief.
22:18It is not a question of belief.
22:20It is a question of whether that capability can even exist.
22:25It's like we believe in the capability of eyes to survive 50 degrees centigrade.
22:35No, belief.
22:37We are not talking psychology here.
22:39We are talking physics here.
22:42We are not talking belief systems and assumptions here.
22:46We are talking hard facts here.
22:48You can have great confidence and holy belief in the capacity of eyes to survive 50 degrees.
22:56But would it?
22:59Why not test things out in a laboratory rather than relying on belief?
23:05And we are not presenting a pessimistic picture.
23:10We are presenting the whole picture.
23:13Now show me which parts of it are optimistic to you.
23:19Here is the complete report.
23:21And show me which parts of it are not pessimistic.
23:27What do we do if realistic itself has become pessimistic?
23:33This is reality, not pessimism.
23:37In fact, you want to act like the ostrich.
23:40By not willing to see that which you don't want to see.
23:46And instead of accepting that you don't want to acknowledge the massive scare of climate change.
23:54And it is not a scare.
23:56A scare is something distant.
23:59It is the sixth mass extinction currently happening.
24:0670% of all wildlife.
24:10And it is not 70% anymore.
24:12It is more than 75% now.
24:13More than 75% of all wildlife has been obliterated by our species.
24:19In the last 50 years.
24:21And a lot of that is related to climate change.
24:26Let it sink in.
24:2875% of all wildlife is gone and all that has happened.
24:32Almost within our lifespans.
24:36There is no pessimism in it.
24:41It is like using a thermometer and seeing that you stand at 103 degrees Fahrenheit.
24:48And you say you know this is a very pessimistic thing.
24:51This is the reality.
24:55And show me what you are doing about it.
25:00Is there anything that we are doing about it?
25:05The Paris Agreement.
25:07The Paris Agreement was about reducing carbon emissions.
25:10Right?
25:122015 was the agreement.
25:18And it was trying to bring emissions back.
25:21Cut emissions back.
25:25To a level.
25:26That could match the levels that we were at in 2010.
25:31Ideally we should have been able to match the 1990 levels.
25:34Ideally.
25:35Though that is not what the agreement said.
25:37That is the ideal thing however.
25:39If you don't want any temperature rise.
25:43Still.
25:45It was agreed that we will match.
25:49We will rather take the 2019 levels.
25:54As the baseline.
25:55And then reduce from there.
25:592019.
26:00Mankind.
26:03Emitted 59 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalents in the atmosphere.
26:082025.
26:092025.
26:12It's actually a little more than what we were emitting in 2019.
26:19The Paris Agreement said.
26:20It has.
26:22To be 44 percent.
26:24Lesser in 2030.
26:26Compared to 2019.
26:29Instead of it being reduced by 44 percent.
26:31We are well on course.
26:32To having something increased.
26:33Over and above 2019.
26:34Forget about reduction.
26:35We are actually increasing our emissions.
26:36Where is the optimism?
26:37Please tell me.
26:38What is there to be optimistic about?
26:39Yes.
26:40We could have understood.
26:41That the situation is bad.
26:42But we are very sincerely addressing the situation.
26:43And doing something about it.
26:44Here the situation is bad.
26:45And we are only making it worse day after day.
26:49Right now as things stands.
26:50The global average hike.
26:51In temperature.
26:52Would be well beyond 3 degrees Celsius.
26:53So.
26:54What is there to be optimistic about?
26:55What is there to be optimistic about?
26:56Yes.
26:57We could have understood.
26:58That the situation is bad.
26:59But we are very sincerely addressing the situation.
27:00And doing something about it.
27:01Here the situation is bad.
27:02And we are only making it worse day after day.
27:04Right now as things stands.
27:11The global average hike.
27:15In temperature.
27:16Would be well beyond 3 degrees centigrade.
27:19And that would mean.
27:22That the extreme hikes.
27:23Would run to 10 to 15 degrees also.
27:27Especially in places like India.
27:30And it's very very.
27:33Astounding.
27:35Shocking.
27:36That this country of ours.
27:39That stands to be hit the hardest.
27:44By the climate catastrophe.
27:46Is among the ones.
27:49Most happily.
27:52Ignorant to.
27:54And dismissive of.
27:57The climate threat.
27:59If we conduct a survey.
28:00About climate awareness.
28:01Across the world.
28:02Several countries.
28:03India.
28:04Would rank.
28:05Among the lowest.
28:06In terms of awareness.
28:07People don't want to talk of it.
28:08People don't want to acknowledge it.
28:09And then.
28:10That is reflected.
28:11In the governmental policies.
28:12Because.
28:13If you don't.
28:14Vote.
28:15For a government.
28:16That acknowledges climate change.
28:17How will there.
28:18Be policy decisions.
28:19Towards the same.
28:20The whole world is saying.
28:21Vote green.
28:22Vote green.
28:23No echo of that.
28:24Is heard in India.
28:25Here the voter.
28:26Makes his decision.
28:27On all kinds of petty issues.
28:28acknowledges climate change, how will there be policy decisions towards the same?
28:36The whole world is saying vote green, vote green.
28:40No echo of that is heard in India.
28:47Here the voter makes his decision on all kinds of petty issues.
28:56But not the ultimate catastrophe that we are staring at.
29:03Not staring at the ultimate catastrophe that is buffeting us, that is killing us right now.
29:26Then again, there's one more that comes up is that the economic growth.
29:31When we projected that we should minimize our desires as a result of self-awareness, then
29:38the question comes up as that then we would be reducing the economic growth, which would
29:43probably hinder the lesser privileged or the less rich people in the society.
29:51But I mean, of course, the obvious answer is also that it is affecting them the highest,
29:56the climate injustice.
29:57But still, I mean, it's not willing to be accepted in that sense that this economic growth and…
30:03see, see, it's like this, if I address the fact that I have a flat tire, then I'll be delayed.
30:20My speed would be reduced.
30:22The question is, how far can you anyway go on a flat tire?
30:29And it's all four punctured tires.
30:33We don't read these things.
30:37But you look at IPCCC reports and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
30:46They are very meticulous in their data collection and in their projection.
30:54India is one of the countries that is going to be the hardest hit even in economic terms.
31:00What about economic growth are we talking of being negligent of climate change?
31:07Medical costs, costs to agriculture, costs to informal economy, costs to infrastructure,
31:16costs even in terms of your defense preparedness.
31:21We must read of these things in detail.
31:28We are not only the world's most populous country, we are also the country where there
31:34is the biggest informal sector and the biggest proportion of population dependent on agriculture
31:41and allied industries.
31:45What are going, what is going to happen to those crops standing under the sun?
31:51Think of the farmer, think of the crop, think of the entire ecosystem.
31:57Think of the insect responsible for pollination, would they survive?
32:09Think of the rivers, not only is our big chunk of population dependent on agriculture, they are
32:18also dependent on the monsoons.
32:25Our crops do not get the support of irrigation.
32:35We depend on natural water, rivers and rains and tanks in South India.
32:45Climate change is going to disrupt the rainfall patterns it already has.
32:53How will there be crops at all?
32:54What economic growth are we talking of?
32:57There would be mass unrest.
32:59Can there be any economic activity when the entire population has gone turbulent?
33:07There is mass civil unrest.
33:10If it does not rain, the glaciers melt, when the glaciers melt first of all it would flood.
33:18And after the floods there would be an unending dryness because now the rivers can't flow.
33:24The glaciers that are the sources of rivers do not exist anymore.
33:27How will the rivers flow?
33:31The rivers are not there, the rains are not there or there is just too much rain at the
33:35wrong place at the wrong time.
33:38From where will the crops come?
33:41And if the crops are not there, what economy are we talking of?
33:4560% of the population will have nothing to feed itself.
33:55And if they have nothing to feed themselves, what will they do?
33:57They will rush towards other places.
34:00Now think of mass migration.
34:03Now think of unemployment.
34:05Now think of, not just mass migration, that's a very meek word.
34:10This is called total displacement of large chunks of populations.
34:23Does the northern parts of the country have a lot of industry?
34:32Does North India have industry?
34:34No, it depends mainly on agriculture.
34:42No river, no rain.
34:45What will those people do?
34:47The 70, 80 crores of them, where will they go?
34:58And they will be killing each other over water.
35:01Nothing as simple as water and food and grains.
35:06What economic growth are we talking of?
35:13Even manufacturing depends to a great extent upon natural produce, textiles for example.
35:27Show me, first of all the manufacturing sector in India is quite small.
35:34But even there, show me how many industries are totally insulated from climate change, please
35:45show me.
35:48So it's not just that agriculture would be demolished, even manufacturing.
36:07And services depend on the general population having some money to spend.
36:17Customers cannot feed the service sector itself continuously, right?
36:21If the two other prominent sectors are going kaput, who will go and eat in a restaurant?
36:34Who will take a taxi?
36:36Who will hire a cook or a gardener?
36:41Are you getting it?
36:43Who will travel to tourist places?
36:53So what will happen to the service industry?
37:00What economy are we talking of?
37:03People think that the economy can keep not just afloat, but growing irrespective of climate
37:08change.
37:09And we have not yet addressed the medical costs, sir.
37:17All kinds of diseases multiply, proliferate, intensify, become more probable under climate
37:28impact.
37:31You name it.
37:32From lifestyle ailments like cancer, like heart disease, like kidney disease, to bacterial
37:44diseases like TB, to viral diseases, everything would be exacerbated by climate change.
37:54Think of a virus that is lying hidden beneath a thick ice sheet or is lying hidden deeply below
38:07the soil in permafrost.
38:11And as the ice melts, the virus would be exposed.
38:17And that virus was sleeping there since millions of years.
38:22Millions of years.
38:25And now it would be exposed.
38:27What's worse is that you do not have immunity against that virus because this virus never
38:32came in contact with human beings, so human beings don't have immunity against that one.
38:37And that virus was happily sleeping beneath the ice, not that the ice has melted.
38:42The virus is out.
38:44Save yourself.
38:45We are talking of economic growth.
38:48What happened to economic growth during Covid?
38:53And thousands of such viruses are lying dormant in jungles, in caves, beneath ice sheets, below
39:04the soil, everywhere, those viruses are there and we are safe because we don't come in contact
39:10with them.
39:11But now they will be released.
39:12You know, 1966, Homi Jahangir Baba's flight crashed on mountains, the Alps.
39:28And not much could be found because everything was snow and ice there.
39:34Now slowly, something intriguing is being seen.
39:41A lot of cafes are coming there based on Air India themes.
39:46Because now the ice is melting.
39:49And not one but two Air India planes crashed there at the same spot.
39:53One in 1950, one in 1966.
39:57And the debris of both these planes is now getting exposed because because of climate change,
40:02the ice is melting.
40:04So the local population is carrying those and the plane is a huge thing.
40:08So the local population is carrying away those parts.
40:15And using them in the designs of their fancy cafes.
40:19And lot of things are now being found that were buried under the ice since long.
40:25Now the ice is no more.
40:27The ice is releasing everything that was being concealed by it.
40:35And those viruses will be out.
40:39And we are talking of economic growth.
40:42We have forgotten COVID.
40:49What economic growth?
40:50India's economic heart is Mumbai.
40:53And we know by how many centimeters the sea level has already risen.
40:58What will happen to Mumbai?
41:00That's the city that provides you with the maximum tax revenue.
41:05That's the city that's your financial center.
41:10And the sea levels are rising.
41:12What economic growth?
41:15And your political capital is Delhi that is vulnerable to the worst kinds of heat attacks.
41:22And we are talking of economic growth.
41:28Three of your biggest metropolitan cities Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata are vulnerable to rising sea levels.
41:44And vulnerability again is such a soft word.
41:51When sea levels rise, they simply swallow up the city.
41:54That's it.
41:55Finished.
41:56Game up.
41:57You have an underwater city now.
42:01Or at least huge parts of the city will now be underwater.
42:07Run the city.
42:12North India at least, there is some backup.
42:21That the glaciers are massive.
42:23The Himalayan ice sheets.
42:27So, the glaciers will take some time melting and till then the rivers will continue to flow.
42:35South India.
42:37The rivers depend not so much on ice but on rainfall.
42:42What happens when the rainfall patterns are disrupted?
42:45What will happen to all our South Indian rivers?
42:53Already you have had the two states fighting over Cauvery waters.
42:59The fight will be settled because there will be no water.
43:12And in North also, you have Delhi and Haryana squabbling over the Yamuna waters.
43:39If the future will have any history, then history will look at this period, the 21st century with
43:49great astonishment, we who inhibit this century will be seen as utter idiots, caricatures in
44:03the name of human beings.
44:07And in the future, if there is any, will ask us, how stupid could you be to not confront
44:16the facts?
44:18To keep denying the truth?
44:26We are a very special people at a very special time, doing our utmost to kill the whole planet.
44:41And it's a very, very rare happening in the history of Earth.
44:44We are a very special people.
44:47We are very privileged.
44:48In fact, if there is a future, the future will remember us.
44:56These were the idiots.
45:05We often hear that the personal finance should be like a compulsive subject in it, in like,
45:10when we are in schools, but then now it seems like environmental education or self education
45:14must be like the compulsive subjects that must be taught in schools.
45:20You see, that's what, the science of climate change is not complicated, is it?
45:25It is so easy.
45:26Even a 10th grader can understand it.
45:28The problem is not so much of intellect or science or the problem is in the intent to acknowledge
45:40the obvious.
45:43The problem is that we lack in our honesty.
45:47The problem is not that we lack education or science, we lack in our honesty.
45:51And unless our entire system of upbringing, our culture, places emphasis and educates its kids
46:12in not accepting the false, whatever be the cost, there is no way inner honesty can develop.
46:21We might be very educated people, we might also know the facts really.
46:29But what to do when one knows the facts, yet wants to deny them?
46:34Here the problem is not of education, but of honesty.
46:37Which means your education system is not teaching honesty.
46:41Your education system is only teaching them external things, nothing internal.
46:51You could be a scientist and yet a climate denialist, it's possible.
47:07You may have all the facts on your table and yet choose to push them aside.
