Climate change and our justifications

What would work in India? Climate change would hit us squarely sooner than expected. Unruly vehicular traffic and its variety in all cities ( villages, small towns too
) burning precious foreign exchange and burning our only survival outfit - the environment, industries with worst pollutants in river ( Ganga and all rivers
), seas and ponds, poly packs, litters on Himalayas, smoke chullahs, backward cheap ACs, motor bikes, cars, pumping sets, jugads ( yesterday I saw a wood trolley fitted with a discarded scooter engine and steering in 30 minutes jam that I was stuck as a pinion rider), generators ( do generator and inverter industry have any role in power crisis?),all kinds of gas guzzlers, fake pollution clearances -millions of big and small examples are looking us as if we are there dumb spectators? Hearing since childhood that India has a deep root of equivalence of culture and nature. Well, in all scriptures, narrations and every religious rituals the people justify their action as pro-nature, pro-'spirit', pro- people, for well-being of every one; justify as necessary for job, business, study, tours, enjoyment, and what not. They justify everything for the justice whose link is otherworldly.
