fast fact: For westerners who still think of India as a faraway little spot, slightly under a fifth of the world's population lives there. More than 4x as many people as the USA. So this is kind of a major deal, humanity-wise.

    True, and Modi campaigned on climate change denial. Oh wait, no he didn't. The headline incorrectly sums up how a few of his statements have been interpreted by people who think if you're not 100% on one side it means you're 1000% on the complete opposite side.

    But plopping black hats on 1.4 billion people sure makes being right and ignorant at the same time easy!
