Global Warming + Global Cooling= Global Destruction

Change Poses an Unprecedented Threat to the World- Asia in Particular
There is absolutely no doubt about Global Warming actually
happening. Since the 1980s this major issue has been knocking over enthusiastic
heads from all over the globe. Despite of some amateurish researches in the mid
2000s proving that it is basically a non-issue, this global phenomenon has come
to the forefront courtesy the IPCC report of last week. The independent panel
headed by Prof R K Pachauri had categorically stated that Asia will have to
mend its ways in order to get respite from the sinister climate change.
The IPCC predicted that in another 50 years about
5-degree-rise in temperature is expected to be recorded. (And in terms of the
best case scenario not less than 2-degree-rise.) However that is not of
importance at the moment. What is important is that the prediction of climate
changing rapidly and very rapidly at a rate that it could be clearly noticed by
even a 5-year-old, which was expected in another 10-20 years is occurring NOW!
Rains are lashing North India in early April this year. This
is an unprecedented scene- a conspicuous evidence of severe climate change. The
advent of summers for years has been the month of March, but this year it is
already April and people are hesitating in removing their sweaters. Crops are
almost devastated. The monsoon is also expected to be very brief this year. Our
nation depends on Agriculture the most. Hence particularly for us it is nothing
less than ‘Eco-terror’.
In recent years we have noticed a shift in the time of winter
and summer. Thus what we are witnessing is a complex mixture of Global Warming
and Global Cooling. The Earth has seemingly become an air-tight container which
is being compressed and expanded at the same instant. Explicitly, someday soon
this container may explode!
