This is BS. The Indian government is notorious for using the nation's resources for propaganda. I wouldn't trust these numbers until audited by an independent body.

Have the courage of your convictions to argue the facts and not the account name maybe? This is a new kind of ad hominem attack.

If that bugging you is the best you can take out of all the climate change discussion, you need to change your mindset on how to read important topics. There will always be sensationalism around something as big as climate change. Of course

I didn't say education failed in general. I don't believe education works in dissuading addictive behaviors. Education isn't helping people pursue better diets, it is not dissuading people from binge drinking, and it is not g

I am not denying them their choice, nor am I in favor of the ban (I don't think bans work). I am saying that education does not dissuade addictive behaviors.
