Global Warming Skit

Narrator: Once there was a mighty king named Vikram . He was enjoying the beauty of nature with his attendants.

Vikram : “What a lovely day! It’s beautiful – the dancing daffodils, sparkling rainbows, fragrance in the air, the fresh cool breeze. If there is any heaven it’s here.”

Attendant 1 : “Yes indeed, your majesty. Gods have been merciful to bless us the abode in paradise.”

Attendant 2 : “It is the good karma of your highness for which we have everything in plentiful.”

Narrator: On the way to his palace he meets one of his village head named Mangilal.

Mangilal : “Hail my lord”

Vikram : “How are things at your end mangilal? How is everyone fairing in your village?”

Mangilal : “Due to your resourcefulness and impudence every one is happy and healthy. Thank you my lord for your good governance and deeds”

Narrator: He is back in his palace and he is sitting with his council of ministers. His attendants were using palm leaves to fan him.

Royal Architect : “ With your permission and grace my lord, I would like to build a palace that existed never before. The one which would make your rivals to be more envious of you. I would like you to order cutting parts of forest so that we may have enough land and timber for the construction”

Vikram : “ Go ahead with the project, it definitely sounds impressive”

Royal Engineer : “ O mighty king, I have designed many machines with which we can set up factories and make products not known to the world till now. But for that I need to dig mines and extract metals.”

Vikram : “Alright, step on it make us proud”

Royal Scientist : “Emperor, I have built a power source that would create enormous power comparable to that of sun. We just need to extract oil, coals and natural gas from earth. And with that I would create vehicles that ride on engine rather than horses. I would create rockets that can go to outer space.”

Vikram : “Magnificent! It will make us masters of our own destiny”

Royal Military general : “ Good lord, with your permission I would like to create weapons that can raze an army in seconds. I will make tanks, missiles, bombs and then no one ever would think of defying us”

Vikram : “Yes, and that would make me king of kings”

Prime minister “ My master, I would like you to think again. We should not play with nature or else the results can lead us to our destruction. In the recent global summit, I heard people talking about global warming and its severity”

Vikram : I believe that global warming is a myth. And so, therefore, I have no conscience problems at all”

Narrator: Following his orders were cut, coal, metals, oil ripped out of earth. (Scene: Children acting as trees cut down crying and weeping . Children acting as earth were forcibly snatched off the goods). Suddenly life seems to easy. There are cars, trains, flights now, there are factories making products, tall sky-scrappers , weapons of mass destruction and much more.
Now King Vikram doesn’t go for a walk, he instead prefer riding his Ferrari wearing made to order Armani and laced with most expensive cosmetics. But today his dear Ferrari has gone for service he reluctantly goes for a walk.

Vikram : “Its terrible outside. What a scorching heat? I miss the comfort of Ferrari, its AC is so cool.”

Attendant 1 : “Yes your majesty. Life without AC is unthinkable of. We have made so much progress that now we have the power to control nature”

Narrator: On the way to his penthouse, he sees his village head Mangilal.

Vikram : “Oh that’s mangilal by the subway. Call him, let us talk to him.….”

Vikram : “How are you mangilal?”

Mangilal: “Sir, I am no longer mangilal. I prefers Mags, mangi is so old fashioned”

Vikram : “Ok Mags, How are things at your village?”
Mags : “Things were never so great before! We have internet, mobiles, Wifi, DTH everything. We are waiting eagerly for the launch of iphone 112. By the way, did you see the latest Fall collection. It’s awesome”

Narrator: Feeling proud of his achievements king summons his council.

Vikram : “ You all have done your bit and I am extremely content with it. Now, I want you to give in everything and make more and more progress.”

Prime minister “ But sir, the pace of global warming is accelerating and the scale of the impact is devastating. The time for action is limited - we are approaching a tipping point beyond which the opportunity to reverse the damage of CO2 emissions will disappear. The products built in the factories of G.M., Ford and Chrysler are some of the greatest weapons of mass destruction responsible for global warming and the melting of our polar icecaps.”

Vikram : “The global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics more than by science. I don't think a few Ferraris make that much difference.”

Narrator: And then Humanity had a giant leap and technology thrived and now runs lives. But great power comes with greater responsibility, and if untamed it would spell disaster. Now, They have exhausted all reserves of coal, oil and ores. Now there was everything but no sources of power to run them. Troubled with load shedding and power cuts, Kings Vikram reluctantly goes out for a walk as his car ran out of gas.

Vikram : “Its blazing hot outside even in the evenings. I wonder what I did to displease God. Why has he become so merciless”

Attendant : “Yes your majesty. We are living a hellish life. God has been unfair to us”

Narrator: On the way, he sees Mags. He looked pale and diseased.

Vikram : “Mags, what have you done to yourself. What are those skin rashes?”

Mags : “Sir, I have skin cancer due to harmful UV radiations, which depleted ozone layer no longer blocks. All thanks to your rockets and CFCs.”

Vikram : “How are things in your village?”

Mags : “Sir, They are even worse. We don’t have water to drink, nothing at all to eat. We have been starving due to prolonged drought. We are dying my lord. Some far off village I heard is destroyed by floods. Save us please”

Narrator: Considering gravity of situation he summons his prime minister.

Vikram : “ I have been such a fool not to act on your timely advices. Suggest me what could be done now?”

Prime minister “The money to fund great things and innovations and programs is gone in our lifetime; it's all gone to debt. So we won't be able to solve global warming or have the transportation that we needed for the 21st century. We should be supporting people with great ideas, but it's gone, and now it's got to be paid back with interest to nature. Now, we must pay for our sins.”

Narrator: They could not but we can. Scientists have been warning about global warming for decades. It's too late to stop it now, but we can lessen its severity and impacts.

We live in a FREE world, isn't it?

We are supposed to be FREE individuals. My question here is ARE WE REALLY FREE? When I look at life I see nothing but beliefs and more beliefs - some inherited, some acquired, some conveniently or inconveniently crafted. And then we say we are FREE. I think yes we are free, but free to choose either from already existing beliefs or to define a supposedly new belief. I don't know I don't have answers, I just have questions. You are FREE to believe or not to, but still I am apprehensive how many beliefs will be playing with your supposed FREEDOM.  

• Are we free not to believe? Can we exist without believing?
• Are we made to believe in everything? Is there any other thing in life other than beliefs?
• Are we really free? What is freedom, if it exists? Can we ever think freely?
• Freedom - a choice or just a fantasy?

• What is thinking? How do we think? Are we free to think or create? What governs thinking? A mere electrical chemical reaction occurring in the brain- is that all about thinking? Is it possible to influence thinking in any way? Psychic experiences. mind reading, subconscious, ego what are they- literary jargons ingrained in our brain or layers of self?
• How do we learn? Is there any shortcut to learning? Can we unlearn? 
• How and why feelings impact thinking and vice versa?

• Are there rules and laws which governs the inner world as they appear to govern physical world? Are there underlying principles that governs life? 
• Is this world real or a mere reflection of universal chaos? Are we the product of mere mathematical inconsistency?
• Does life follow any universal equation? Can such equation ever exist?
• Is life a chanced occurring? Are we the trivial solutions of probabilities?

• Why do we exist? Is there some innate purpose of life?
• What is to be done? Why?
• Why do we need to follow social and moral codes that we are subjected to? Is it necessary? What impact virtues have on life? Culture, nation, values, family - Are these things indispensable?

• Does GOD exist? Why do we need to believe in GOD?
• What is self? Is it again a belief?
• What is religion? Isn't it a product of human deliberation and conscious effort to chain the psychology?
• Is there any life after death?

After all, We all live in a FREE world, isn't it?
