"The Dalai Lama has appealed to world leaders to take urgent action
against climate change, warning of ecological destruction affecting the
lives of billions and ruining the planet, including his birth country,

become like Afghanistan”, with terrible consequences for at least a
billion people dependent on water from the plateau “at the roof of the
world”."
Via Glyn Moody, who wrote "let’s hope his followers listen…"
