Watch | Earth Day: wake-up call on climate change
The Hindu
A discussion on multiple dimensions of climate change, heatwave projections, water management, how algorithms can be used to project future droughts and floods, and more
In this episode, we will be discussing Earth Day, which The Hindu covered with thematic articles on April 22.
We look at multiple dimensions of climate change, beginning with the most recent Supreme Court ruling on climate change in terms of the rights of us citizens of India to have protection from the deleterious impact of climate change.
We look at heatwave projections for the entire Asia region in terms of what impact it could have on livelihoods, employment etc. We will also look at how algorithms can be used to project future droughts and floods across the region. And finally, we touch on the critical issue of water management and why it matters in the context of water-food-land nexus which together has an enormous impact on the economy.
We are joined by Jacob Koshy, the Deputy Science Editor at The Hindu.

The new device comes in two sizes: 11 inches and 13 inches; the latter has an expansive screen space for creative tasks, like sketching, colouring editing 4K videos or even making music. The 13-inch Apple ipad Pro measures 5.1 mm, which is thinner than the iPod Nano by 11mm and thinner than its predecessor by 8mm. The iPad Pro 11-inch version measures 5.3 mm. Another long-awaited change is the camera’s position from portrait edge to landscape edge, making it ideal for video calls.
This is the finding of a study, titled ‘What drives poor quality of care for child diarrhoea? Experimental evidence from India’, which was conducted across 253 medium sized towns (population between 10,000 and 1.5 lakh) in Karnataka and Bihar to explore the reasons for underprescription of ORS in India.
