Modi has a pretty typical right-wing position on climate change, right? 'If it's happening, it's somebody else's problem, and we can't let it affect the economy by doing anything about it'? I mean, that's slightly more defensible coming from a developing world politician, whose country wasn't involved in the past 200 years of industrial pollution. But at the same time, India is poised to rapidly become a large contributor to the problem, and it's certainly going to get screwed over by less snowmelt from the Himalayas and coastal flooding. I have a recurring nightmare where 100 million Bangladeshi refugees get flooded out of their country, and anti-Muslim/refugee sentiment (perhaps whipped up by Modi!) turns into a genocide. And then Pakistan gets upset about it and the nukes start flying...
