Global Warming, and its chilling.

I would like to put two things straight,
  1. Hail Sameer, who is just like a spark plug which never forget to ignite.
  2. I drive on comments, more comments I get, more easy it would be for me to write.

Now coming to the topic of global warming, though I was not invited to G8 or G5 summit and am not seeing and upcoming chances to be there with those decision makers. One thing is quite clear, they are not going to make great deal of change. Yesterday there was an article in Times of India, which stated that America have money to invest in every xyz research but not in the fields related to Global Warming and modeling. And things aren't going to be simple any time soon. There are many reasons, and most of them are related to economics and politics. I am no Guru in either of them but understands one simple thing that is PROFIT, and Global Warming is going to bring more and more profit.

Political Sense

America is in no mood to cut its emission, and probably it can not, for few very simple reasons, that there is huge political pressure on White House from industrial lobby, which is very strong in US. I haven't been to US, but one simple thing from which I have this inference, is the number of years for which American Industry is standing. For India it is not more than 60 to 70 years, and for them there industrial history dates back to nearly 200 years or so. And in 200 years and for a nation which plays a very dominant part in international politics, any sort of industry will have its windows in political system.
And as America is in no mood to cut down in emission norms and Mr Bush's feeling that the onus to cut emission of green house gases are on India and China. I am not hoping from something great from EU. And as the Big Daddies are not going to hold their barrels down, the aspiring Big Daddies (G5), are going to follow the suite. This means that we are not going to see and major bill passed in US senate, and this in turns also negates a possibility of a bill being passes in Lok Sabha, or even proposed for that matter. While the meant time we will continue feeding on American Media which will keep on reporting about Paris Hilton and about Brangellina and sometimes (rarest of rare) about few outdated models of global warming.
By the way I really did not likes Paris Hilton's sobbing photo. And Oh yes, she was not crying for the sentence she got, but for the terrible failure of the recently held G8 summit which was focused on GLOBAL WARMING.

Economical Sense

Now come to the economics of every thing related to global warming. Economics is the wheel on which runs politics. You name me a thing and I will tell you that it is in some way or other adding to the global warming. And this just do not limits to the non living things but to the living beings too. I was thinking of adding another topic, like Scientific sense but wont be able to do that as I am already under sever time crunch, my exams are running, so I have to run. One of the major reason behind global warming is undoubtedly the burning of carbon fuel, and this world is running on fuel economy. Whether it be OPEC, US, China or India all are eying hydrocarbon fuel some where or other on globe. This all is required to maintain the fuel security so currently I am not foreseeing any kind of halt in this spree. Then comes the other major source, which would be much better considering global warming, that is radioactive fuel. And for our country many more developing countries like us, there are already many stringent conditions to follow before getting some kind of certificate from a group of developed nation.
Every industry produces some kind of pollution, and this pollution in some way or other contributes to the production of green house gases. As our economy is growing our requirements will only see an increment. One of the important decisions which we have to take is before making any sort of choices, because some products require some really nasty process to be manufactured.
I will try to bring spotlight on scientific sense behind global warming and the extent to which we can manage it through our daily life.

Happy Environment day

Forwarded from Orkut Community for global warming
Happy world environment day! 5th june
hi all,

i just hope you all know that today's world environment day.(June 5)

i was just wondering about what else could we all young and creative people do to figt GW and found my restless spirit finding a home in creativity.

just a few ideas this Env day:

1.

Somebody who has a passion for radio jockeying and being a RJ but never got an opportunity,can join together and start an internet radio service.

of course aimed at spreading awareness about GW,it can host songs,hold debates,informing people about marches and processions and petitions ,they can also launch podcasts.

i am interested,but don't know how to do it.

any one does?

2.
Any budding writer out here,and any one who knows to compose music?

You got it?

bingo,we can write some lyrics for a good song and get it composed by some community members.

they can upload their tracks at a common place,they each one can cooridnate and pitch in.

some budding singers can of course sing it and voila! we have our anthem rocking on our own radio station

(these both can be mututually exclusive)


3.

http://kloit.wetpaint.com/

is a wiki that i have started inviting science teachnical people to pitch in and create some innovations to curtail GW.

wanted right now:

mechnical engineers,
biologits or biotechnologists,
civil engineers

all of whom can spend atleast 5 minutes per day on the site.

send me a scrap if your interested.

4.

what about creating a small badge for GW army?

lets call our selves a GW army and design our selves our badges.we'll wear them at least once a week to our offices.

even if 1 out of 100 people ask about it in your office,we get a new member!

let it also have a site address,like www.stopglobalgarming.org

designs are welcome,get it uploaded on net.lets poll and decide in a week.print it out.

laminate it and show it off!

let it be trendy guys!make a fashion statement!

just this for now.

even if you can't do anyting today,plant atleat a tree.

peace,
sameer
