India is one of the greenest country in the world and we are also going solar, so i don't know why people complain. In villages people are already using solar electricity, electric scooter etc. I my self use solar heater.

Stay strong India. They have the right to develop the way they want to.

[jaimejimenez]

I support India 💯 y’all good people. Humble people. Loving and respectful. India is not like China they’re not run by a criminal gang they’re a democratic nation.

The countries who have the biggest animal husbandry must reduce the emmision to 5% before India is asked to reduce further includes China, USA, Australia, Brazil.

Congratulation...India. At last India dares to stand up against USA and Western Europe ill intentions.💪💪

[callofgamer]

Among G20 nations India is at 10th rank in Climate Change Performance Index whereas Germany is at 13th, France is at 17th, EU is at 22nd, UK is at 7th, US is at 55th and China is at 37th rank.
So don't blame India for climate change blame the developed nations having resources but they don't do it they just blame others. US government spending most of its money in military.

note: *5% coal emissions with 17 % of world's population* !!🧐
You can call me biased but India is being practical 👍.... Sitting in luxuries of developed world after wasting countless fossil fuels, it is easy to do these dramas and dream big 😒, it's implementation in reality in a highly populated developing country with huge sections living under poverty is a different story 🤨....
_Cut down_ and not _cut off_ coal supplies is the only practical solution here🙃...Shouting _how dare you_ from a Scandinavian country won't fix climate😉, thinking _how can you_ in these developing nations can😏....

This entire conversation is silly. The entire world outsources pharmaceutical manufacturing to India, product manufacturing to China. And with the geopolitical situation in China, countries are divesting from China and upping investments in India and Indonesia. Until the world admits that Western consumption is responsible for Eastern pollution, there can be no climate progress.

Western nations have alternate energy sources like atomic energy. But they still have millions of vehicles running on fossil fuel. In a country
like India, basic energy requirements for their large populations are just being met through conventional sources. We can't switch over to
green energy overnight. Phased implementation is the only practical solution.

India green power superpower. Jai hind 🇮🇳💪🏿

[aryakarani]

Loved this segment. Paints a complete picture rather than most news channels just criticising developing countries for the last minute change.

[andreal]

Love you guys 🇺🇸 we the people thank you for standing strong on coal AND Ivermectin ❤️

[abhijitibskol]

Who should be held responsible for the global scale of ecological atrocities that 'post industrial revolution' europe and North America has perpetrated?

[dumdumbrown]

…it’s amazing that anyone listens to BoJo the Badger 😂 and as usual the UK’s press pretends that the UK is actually doing something right…

[skdey]

That's right, bust them with facts and figures.

[callofgamer]

India wanted to phase out coal but India needs alternative. Solar and wind are not enough for a huge nation like India. India needs nuclear energy. That's why India deserves to be a member of NSG group in order to obtain nuclear technology as well as raw materials which are impossible without NSG.
Blaming developing nations like India won't help in climate fight. Helping developing nations by developed nations will.

[msriram]

India has primarily plant based low carbon diet. Maybe other countries should adopt this diet first before lecturing India on climate change.

[REwing]

Politics has always been games played by politicians who are upping their own stakes and holding onto their credibility. You may ask, what credibility!!!!

[指鹿为马-sh]

The West limits India's development through carbon emission plans.
The time for India to become a superpower in 2030 is postponed to 2130

[Rajan_Rout]

Can Europe ditch fossil fuel entirely during this winter?
