Climate Orgasm

What if the climate crisis is not merely a technological or political failure - but an addiction?

In Climate Orgasm: The Planetary Sustainability Sutra , Dr. Sanjay Wahal offers a bold and original reframing of the planetary crisis: modern civilization has become trapped in a cycle of compulsive consumption, short-term gratification, and endless growth - a "climate orgasm" that delivers fleeting highs while pushing humanity toward ecological collapse.

Blending systems thinking, neuroscience, sustainability, behavioral psychology, ancient wisdom, and cultural critique, this provocative book explores how fossil fuels, consumerism, speed, disposability, and excess have reshaped human desire itself. Drawing inspiration from the deeper philosophical traditions of the Kama Sutra, tantra, mindfulness, and the Purusharthas, Wahal argues that the solution to climate change is not austerity, but transformation - from lust to lasting, from compulsion to consciousness, from excess to enough.

Through concepts such as the Decarbonization Sutra , The Pleasure of Enough , Eco-Intimacy , and The Collective Kama Sutra , the book presents a compelling vision for regenerative living, conscious leadership, circular economies, and planetary resilience. It challenges readers to rethink prosperity, redefine pleasure, and rediscover sustainability not as sacrifice, but as a deeper form of fulfillment.

At once philosophical, practical, provocative, and hopeful, Climate Orgasm is a manifesto for a civilization seeking recovery from the addiction to endless growth. It is a call to redesign our technologies, economies, cultures, and desires - before the pursuit of more destroys the very systems that sustain life.

This is not just a climate book. It is a sutra for surviving - and flourishing - in the century ahead.

Dr. Sanjay Wahal is also the author of the groundbreaking book The eCarbon Card⢠Blueprint: Digital Solutions for Carbon Accountability - India as a Model.
