Climate Change and Our Survival: What the Science Says - Harminder Dhillon and Ranjodh Singh

n this Climate Change Special on Radio Haanji 1674 AM, host Ranjodh Singh sits down with Harminder Dhillon for one of the most important conversations the Punjabi community in Australia needs to hear. They break down what the science actually says about global warming, from the staggering scale of projected human loss to the economic destruction a two-degree rise could trigger. The episode brings the crisis close to home by looking at what is happening right now in the Indian subcontinent, including Himalayan glaciers melting at record speed, water levels surging at Bhakra Dam, deadly ground temperatures in Delhi, and rice crops burning in Punjab before they can even be planted. Ranjodh and Harminder also pull back the curtain on why so much of this information never reaches people, from government suppression of reports to fossil fuel companies spending crores on spreading doubt, and how that disinformation travels through WhatsApp groups all the way to villages in Punjab. The episode ends with a clear message: the most powerful thing any of us can do is have honest conversations in our own communities and stop letting misinformation fill the silence. This is a must-listen for anyone in the Punjabi and Indian diaspora who wants to understand what climate change truly means for their family, their land, and the generations to come.
