Mercury

This is, of course, about the fight against global warming; and about the ludicrous ideologies opposing it!
“Global warming?!? What global warming? Solve our damned water and electricity problems first and then we’ll talk about... what was that again?!?” Ask any average working Indian Joe about how worried he or she is about global warming, and we bet that the deeply choleric and ill-tempered scowl you see with the ruthlessly ‘warm’ and snappy retort mentioned above would be more than enough for you to conclude your search for enlightenment right there in your tracks... Relax, it happened to us too, and we hadn’t even started discussing the international analyst forecasts that because of global warming, India would suffer a major freshwater shortage by 2030... “2030?!??” Oh alright, we get it... But what about the really poor Indians? Allow us, please. You see, poor, homeless, destitute, illiterate, jobless Indians (400 million plus of them), really had it good before global warming set in. And now, they’re all running scared and worried stiff about the fearful destruction this ‘warming stuff ’ is going to unleash upon them... Got it? Phew, it’s already getting hot!
