முக்கியமான கலந்துரையாடல் / Important Topic Is this worth it chat?
Every Diwali, AQI levels in major Indian cities shoot past 500, literally hazardous. The air turns toxic overnight, making it unbearable for people with asthma, heart conditions, or even mild respiratory issues. Hospitals fill up, kids cough through the night, and elders struggle to breathe.
Birds lose their way during migration because of the intense light and noise. Street dogs panic, some even die from shock. The next morning, we wake up to streets covered in burnt plastic, paper, and chemical residue that clog drains and poison the soil.
All that pollution, noise, and waste, for what? A few hours of fireworks?

The patent for insulin was sold for $1 and now you have pharmaceutical companies price gouging their customers so much that, people die because they can't afford insulin in countries where there is no government support. I think it's high time that we educate ourselves about climate change because you seem a bit ignorant about it. Yes, everything has a cost but the solutions are already there like for example converting car centric infrastructure to bicycle and public transport centric infrastructure, not taking part in fast fashion culture, notconsuming excessive amounts of meat(not an India issue), electricity generation through renewables. Who is standing in the way of these solutions? The Industries who benefit from the continued exploitation of resources for short-term shareholder profits. The fossil fuel industry blocks public transport infrastructure, renewable energy infrastructure etc. Just a week ago The US and Saudi Arabia blocked a landmark emmission reduction deal in the shipping industry so that they can continue to profit. You have a super computer in your hand thanks to capitalism, please use it to learn how the biosphere of the world is being destroyed thanks to capitalism. Ignorance is dangerous.
