Sir, I wish the author also went ahead and gave an opinion of how India could reduce carbon emissions. We have a large number of poor and lower middle class people, who have great aspirations for products and services that make the quality of their lives better, which is presently enjoyed by only a minority. Should we curb our desires or should we use science and technology more efficiently to invent new ways to consume less resources? Or should we do both? In what all ways? Politicking and canvassing will always go on. Yes, we should be aware of it and try and lessen the evils therein.
