Explained: How Feasible Is Narendra Modi’s Net Zero by 2070 Pledge?

On the second day of the crucial COP26 summit in Glasgow, India has made a big promise – Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the country would achieve “net-zero by 2070”.
Is it actually possible to achieve this target?
Prime Minister Modi also announced four other commitments, with deadlines as close as 2030.
What do these commitments mean?
Today on The Wire Explains, we break down India’s pronouncements at COP26 so far.

Look who is making commitments, doesn't the world know on whom it's counting.

This is called "greenwashing". All the world leaders have learnt to do this. In any case Modi won't be around in 2070 to defend this.

Few more jumlas did not cost him nothing, few more hugs with thugs of climate rape and the bhakts will dance in trance saying, 0h he made us proud on an international platform.

Modi commitments are " I won't sell railways" and soon you see "let's privatise railways"

till then they will make petrol for 2000rs per litre

"How Feasible Is Narendra Modi’s Net Zero by 2070 Pledge?", how does it matter?, which commitment has our worthy Feku honoured?, in any case, the rest of the world are equally well aware of Feku's antics, so no harm done.

It is as feasible as 15 lakhs in every citizen bank account & achche din & World super power by 2020 😁

The bigger the stage the greater the Jumla: Modi's first Law of Election Campaigning

[rahmanraza]

It is nothing but a new jumla....he is demagogue

lol by 2070, continents might shift and India could be 2 parts - just exaggerating. Such a long target is ridiculous.
