    70% of ln'dia has no toilets or running water while here in the United States, we have open taps, record rainfall, dams overflowing, massive floods. You can't have 0.04% CO2 0.0025% per year 'causing'(sic) a "climate change" both hot, cold, wet, dry. ln'dia H visa expats take 20,000 crore rupees out of the US every year back to ln'dia. Where does it disappear to? _Since Modiji's BJP seized power, the ln'dian countryside population has been devastated._ *It's not 'climate change', it's a climate of corruption.*

    The only hope for a livable future in India and the world is not in industrial "employment," expanding tech and speculative concrete-construction industries etc - short-sighted destructive opportunistic ""development"".. but if people realize the great value of rural places ... if all of these unemployed young people put thier energy into ecology, water and land conservation, and especially regenerative farming, rather than being sucked into empty american-style consumerism in wasteful and polluted cities. It will never happen through bureacratic policy though, it must be 'horizontally' organized at a localized 'grassroots' level utilizing existing community networks, panchayats etc and through people actually directly speaking to and educating eachother, as so many great changes and movements happened here in the past. Either way there will be soon be even more enormous migrations of people due to climate and water problems, and more people will be forced to see the true face of existing industrial ""development"" ... Thanks for reading this comment and thanks Down to Earth especially for content about inspiring ecological local projects saving land and water, I share those videos with friends often.

    Alain Aspect visited the flat I shared with Jack Sarfatti in 1983. He also came to the Caffe Trieste to meet our roundtable group of physics afficionados. John Clauser also visited. They were already deeply engaged in work on Bell's Inequalities. I will never forget that on the day I left San Francisco for Norway, October 25, 2022, Aspect, Clauser and Zeilinger shared their Nobel Prizes. We must also remember physicist Stuart Jay Freefman who passed away beforehand. They were working on the theoretical proposal of Clauser, Horne, Shimony and Holt.
