Dia Mirza's context of her viral remark – 'men who have driven climate change'
Dia Mirza appeared recently on Soha Ali Khan's podcast and has sparked a heated online debate with her viral remark. Her remark has reignited the discussions about the broader factors that shape the climate crisis, prompting people to examine environmental concerns. Dia Mirza appeared alongside environmental journalist, author and photographer Arati Kumar Rao and discussed the themes of climate change, environmental degradation and humanity's connection with the natural world.
