I am a bit confused about all these Climate/ Global Warming related issues.
When I was doing my MBA in 1980s, everyone was talking about Global Cooling and how Earth will be covered with ice in a couple of hundred years.
In two decades, Climate 'Specialists' have turned the whole argument upside down and are talking animatedly about Earth getting warmer and warmer.
I take both with a pinch of salt.
It is really absurd that there is enough evidence of Global cooling in 1980s and the evidence taking a 180 degree turn in 20 years!
One can argue that there is considerable scientific evidence to support global warming and changing weather patterns. But we have reasons to believe that many of these so called 'Scientific Evidence' lack credibility. Remember the leaked letters about data inaccuracies pertaining to Himalayan Glaciers melting, a few years ago?
The West, which has lost its competitive edge in both Agriculture and Manufacturing sectors, has been trying to find innovative ways to find revenue, and the so called 'intellectual pursuits' about Global warming, to which funds flow in billions of dollars, is one way of keeping many people employed at fat salaries.
Where will all these NGOs, who have a parasitical existence, be if there is no Global Warming? There is a clear hidden agenda, that is a mix of politics, economics and control.
Earth has been in existence for millions of years. There has been periods when it has warmed up and when it has shown an inclination to cool. We have seen in the past fertile lands become arid, rivers drying up and even new deserts being formed. And these happened not when there were man made Global warming situations.
It is quite possible that this summer is hotter than the previous ones. That doesn't mean that the next one will be. I hail from Palakkad, and during my school days the summer was really torrid. Despite this we played Cricket all day in scorching sunshine in April and May (that is when Coaching Camps are held) with only some tap water in a bucket the source of hydration. I still remember me having a very dark tan at the end of every summer!
I am not denying that cities are getting warmer because of high rise buildings, and lack of cross ventilation. The problem is the discourse on Global warming is always led by people who live in Metros and bigger cities, and they try to shift their guilt to all around them.
Climate will change, and man will adapt to it.
