This is an el nino year. Please read up on what it is. Doesn't mean there's no climate change, but el nino has exacerbated it this year.

Only Republicans in 🇺🇸 deny due to strong lobbying by coal, oil, gas companies. Also many conservatives don’t believe because they have seen America grow and prosper because of oil and coal, and they don’t want to stop their prosperity by shutting off these industries and laying off people. In India, most people believe in climate change and other simply don’t care

The thing is due to US hegemony we can’t bring meaningful change and us is now practically run by corporations. Idk how they will get out of that capitalist phase

From what I understand, climate change is definitely happening but it's not at the alarming stage which activists are claiming and due to this commin people are hanging in between both the sides.

Escapism is a favourite mechanism of humankind. 
  
 Also initially people didn't want to change their extra comfortable life style, now the climate has become such that one can't quit those things/habits which are harmful for the lifestyle. 
  
 Sometimes I believe the only solution seems  is the below type of ads should be run for climate change, so that people may think what kind of world we will leave behind for the future generations:

What problems would Indian and Global startups be solving in the next decade, or they would be just throwing random yearly new buzz words and as usual VCs would be having orgasms on these buzz words.

I mean real problems.

Our summers are becoming dangerous with every passing day, gone are the days of your childhood where 35degreed  would be peak of the day.
It's not even April yet and the temperature is barely going below 30s even at night, and it's not specific to one place, across the India whoever I talk to shares the same experience,
And the sad part is it's only going to get worse, more trees will be cut down to build highways and infrastructure to sustain our population and its needs, we still have to pull out 100s of million people out of acute low income level.
Global warming will be our biggest challenge in the following decades.
What is grapeviners opinion on this?

If not possible then at least during the time when monsoon is at its peak...

If not possible then at least on the days when it rains a lot regardless of it being the expected peak of the season

It saves lots of time and trouble with potholes, getting sick due to exposure to rain, traffic, etc.

In the long term it saved more time of employees and company if companies consider these factors.

For the monsoon season everyone should get WFH

I'll be happy to answer any questions about GenZ!

GenZ are the most diverse generation (accelerated by growing up with the internet since we were 4 years old) and you cannot generalise by saying 'this is genz' because no matter what, not even 30% of us are similar.
  
Yes, we run after validation on Instagram. And yes it's unhealthy. But it's not fair to single us out. Older generations have also been obsessed with TV News, FB and Twitter. No need to deny, we all know.
  
GenZ also more openly talks about mental health and we call out things which the older generations just accepted as 'aisa hi hota hai'. Think Gender Inclusivity, Harmful Climate Practices, Running after only Salary, Marriage and Kids, Jobs where you're not treated with Basic Human Dignity, Shitty Mental Health, etc. 
 
We're conscious about prioritising our mental health, even though it's tougher for us than ever before, so we're sorry if our calling things 'toxic' annoys you a little.

We're all extremely concerned about Climate Change because we know we're the last generation which can fix this.

Have you heard about the Paris Agreement? It was held in December 2015 in Paris to mitigate climate change and assist developing countries financially. What a Clownshow it was! I have never seen world leaders so serious before this event.

So, what were the main outcomes of the Paris Agreements?
1. To keep the global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
2. Developed countries have committed $100 billion a year for developing countries to fight against climate change.
3. A voluntary carbon market.

Signed by 195 countries, including influential figures like Barack Obama, Xi Jinping, Narendra Modi, and David Cameron, the event initially appeared to be a significant success, until the US withdrew from the agreement during Trump's presidency. However, Biden's pledge to rejoin the Paris Agreement during his campaign offered hope for a revival of commitments.

So, what happened next? Well, no one knows where that $100 billion statement went. Also, after the election, no one knows what Biden is doing for climate change. Even though the European Union is pressuring India to create policies for the Carbon market, they are not buying Carbon credits from India (They think our calculation approach is casual, and due to high corruption in India, there is a chance of double counting). Many startups that were started in India after the Paris Agreement to trade carbon credits have shut down this year after waiting 7 years for the policies, but Nirmala Sitaraman said they have no plans till next couple of years.

Currently, the COP28 meeting is ongoing. Do you know who is the host? Well, the UAE, one of the big oil-exporting countries. And our beloved Biden, whose whole campaign was around climate change, has not attended the summit. Also, the UAE prince was doing oil deals with the countries who have participated in COP28 on the sidelines of the summit (am not joking guys).

Well that's all for today.

That price tag is up from the $64 billion valuation it was given in a funding round early this year. But the online fashion upstart, which has disrupted an industry that had been by the likes of Zara and H&M, attained an even higher valuation of $100 billion in April 2022.

Shein has seen big swings in its price tag over the last year. The Singapore-headquartered fast fashion platform is targeting a valuation of up to $90

Don't take this post negatively but think hard and put your views. We all agree that India is doing great at this point of time but no one , literally no one is talking about the danger future we have in front of us in coming years.
Below points need immediate attention and action 

1) Huge water crises in all the major cities and it will only get worse each year.
2) Corruption still relevant in almost all government works from land registration to traffic fines to railway ticket fines, you name it. 
3) We really need one child policy for some years now otherwise we can't imagine how dark the future is in all terms, from food to employment to natural resources.
4) Almost every food product from oil, ghee, butter is contaminated and the quality is just getting worse, to meet demand and to increase profits. Also corruption here.
5) The weather is just getting worse because of all the concrete jungles we have created and this will also get worse , thanks to our never ending population explosion.


Barack Obama rightly said recently that we should focus on improving the health of earth rather than finding life on Mars.
Earth will still have oxygen even after nuclear energy wars.

Sometimes I really think that we need real Thanos , who is the only one who can help solve these problems.

India needs a hard restart

The resale value of those cars will now fall faster. I feel sad for all those people who bought the EV vehicles.

Finally the hype runs out

Jammu (in Kashmir) touched 43°C today

It is not even funny now.
The water never cools down, not even at 5am.
