Now this is one firebrand actor-activist! Rahul Bose recently Rahul Bose slammed developed countries for preaching to developing nations to reduce "the use of energy sources" in order to cut down on "greenhouse gases and carbon emissions" without practising the same!
The 42-year-old also slammed the regular meets to discuss the climate change without any positive outcome. "Over 200 countries have talked about the need to do something collectively about climate change for the last 25 years, but have done nothing about it," he said. "25 years later, melted glaciers later, vanished lakes later, thousands of forest fires later, the world's leaders are still squabbling about what should be done about climate change."
Rahul saw the need for a greater involvement in the environmental issue when he came across the shocking statistics that 7 out of 10 Indians are affected adversely by any climatic change - mainly farmers, foresters and fisher folk.
He has been pretty vocal about the effort done by governments (or the lack of it) for the environment and has been actively involved with environmental NGOs in shaking up such 'sleeping governments'.
