I think when most people hear the term "climate change" they tend to think of global warming, but there are countless other issues that are affected by the increasing temperature. Tell me about the work you did in India as a Fulbright Scholar.
In India I was studying agrarian distress, which includes farmer suicides that are linked to climate change. Farmer suicides in India are quite prevalent. The suicide rate is high because the crops fail because of persistent drought and because they are reliant on seed companies whose seeds don't grow and pesticide companies whose pesticides are inefficient. Their crops haven't grown for a couple of seasons and they just don't see a way out. It's a very sad situation.
