Unveiling Bangalore's Climate Reality; Here's What Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Said

Have you ever wondered how quickly cities are changing, both physically and climatically? Climate change is one of the most critical and highlighted issues of today. It affects everyone, everywhere, although not in the same ways and not equally. What is the main reason behind all these natural changes? 

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar About Climate Change in Bangalore: 

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a spiritual personality and motivational speaker, highlights the place where he grew up, Bangalore. He exposes a sad reality: climate change. In sharing his personal experience he explains; that there was a time when Bangalore was known for its moderate climate, cooling, and fresh air. Unfortunately, today Bangalore is struggling with unexpected heatwaves and a hot climate. 

A city that is a perfect example of rapid urbanization and technological advancement even on the global stage, Ravi Shankar tells us that this city was not always like this. He flashily recalls a time when visitors from Delhi came to Bangalore for a conference, and they wanted coolers and air conditioners. And they searched all over Bangalore and couldn't get a single cooler. This story serves as a clear reminder of how the city's climate has shifted over the years.

Further, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar exposes the reason behind all these natural tragedies. He attributes Bangalore's current difficult situation to out of control unplanned and unauthorized urbanization and the continuous exploitation of natural resources. Also, the unchecked construction has led to the consumption of vital water bodies, with many lakes drying up due to invasion and pollution.
