Hrishi Chandanpurkar @hrishikeshac.bsky.social · 25/09/2025"...laughter is not just ineffectual as a form of protest, but that it actually replaces protest".

Hrishi Chandanpurkar @hrishikeshac.bsky.social · 04/09/2025After moving to Canada, the difference is so obvious! We see school kids happily walking/biking to school in below freezing temperatures. 10 years living in the US, we would hardly see kids around. Unfortunately, same is happening in India as well! 020

Hrishi Chandanpurkar @hrishikeshac.bsky.social · 01/09/2025Temperature extremes has a tremendous secondary consequence- that of extreme droughts. Since last 5 years or so, Central America is experiencing an accelerated loss of freshwater. 000
Hrishi Chandanpurkar @hrishikeshac.bsky.social · 15/08/2025On India's #IndependenceDay, I'd like to bring your attention to its #watercrises - #India has lost about 15,400 Tmcft of freshwater since 2002. Or 700 Tmcft/yr -Losses from just seven States exceed 800 Tmcft/yr @jayfamiglietti.bsky.social #Groundwater #ClimateChange lnkd.in/gXgvtRnW #NASA #ASU 072
