“Eventually Tibet Will Become like Afghanistan”: Dalai Lama Calls for Urgent Climate Action

Too late buddy. The livestock there have denuded most of the region years ago.

It’s really a win for us!
Jared was running half the agenda and now he’s finished.
Trump didn’t do a fraction of what he promised.
If he’d done even half he’d have wiped the floor with the Dems.
So now it’s entertainment for 4-years observing swing voter ‘buyer’s remorse’.
Jared is gone which is more important than Trump winning.
If Trump had won Jared would have been emboldened and taken more control of the agenda.
REMEMBER Jared squashed Trump’s push-back against climate alarmist.
One step back & two forward . . .

Population of Afghanistan – 37 million area of Afghanistan 652,860 km²

Population of Tibet – 3.7 million area of Tibet 1,228,000 km²

Looks like Tibet could do a lot worse than being more like Afghanistan

I’ll try to keep this simple, but that as with many generalisations can cause misunderstanding, so bear with me with knowledge of both sides:
The issue I see it is that Tenzin Gyatso (HH14DL) & most of the other Lamas (Tibetan: བླ་མ་, Wylie: bla-ma;) of Tibet & surrounding countries conflate ClimateChange™ will the general human caused pollution that our deluxe lifestyles inevitably cause; much caused by Asian countries in particular, for example he can see on news articles how Everest (Chomolungma) is strewn with the litter of mountaineers, plus for example destruction of forests in the amazon, without knowing of similar clearance is done for some Renewable energy projects.
He is leader of the Gelugspa lineage, the main one of four main lineages of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism (excluding the previous indigenous Bon.Po), his no.2, of that lineage, the Panchen Lama was stolen by CCP upon recognition at a young age and not seen since.
There are similar leaders of the other lineages such as Karmapa, Sakya Trinzin etc., and a whole substructure of many teachers in Tibetan Buddhism. All now acknowledge HH14DL as the top Lama as he brought all together can be said.
As such the majority of the followers (sangha) east & west, not all I Know, also believe ClimateChange™ to be a major concern without understanding what it means, in an Appeal to his Authority (they naively think he must know!).
They don’t, like many general public, understand how the Science has been hijacked by the new breed of climate scientists complaining about a marginal increase of CO2 levels & its possible some say unproved correlation with the concept of Global Temperature they alarmingly predict causing major problems.
He famously keeps alignment with science figures in the psychological fields, having many conferences as a link to Buddha-dharma; he has always listened to BBC world service, so you could say he is being ‘brainwashed’ by their current agenda they transmit. I doubt he has any awareness of so called Renewable Energy is in itself environmentally damaging, causing mining destruction in places like Tibet itself & relies upon Fossil Fuel or Nuclear baseloading.
Many people won’t know Tibet was itself nothing like the Shangri-La of romantic perception & there was much political intrigue throughout its history in the 3 major regions of Greater Tibet before invasion & subsequent Chinese annexation & occupation of U-tsang, Amdo & Kham (like England, Scotland & Wales make up Britain). Three of the four lineages held control at some stage, and some teachers described parts were like the wild west. Introduction of Buddhism from India quietened the whole area over the centuries and flourished. But there were always problems with neighbouring countries and eventually the 13th Dalai Lama banished Chinese and declared independence 13th February 1913; his army was not strong and its build-up opposed leading to the downfall at the battle of Chamdo (see Seven Years in Tibet) October 1950.
