True!
by Nitin Karwa on Feb 17, 2006 02:05 PM  Permalink 

Climate change is now the burning issue. Human efforts to get better of nature will backfire. What we have done in last 100 odd years has caused local climatic instabilities. We are part of a system, which has a inbuilt tendency to stabilise and this reciprocation by nature is moslty voilent.

The mathematical models developed to study these climatic changes are much simplified but are still very complex. They can qualitatively predict the future behaviour but not quantitatively. Sadly, their predictions of major havocs due is most likely to be true.

To say that development should not happen is not the
solution, rather a balance needs to be worked out. Many human activites can be made more or less reversible, but the problem is when man creates a chaos. Lack to proper city planning, infrastructure, etc are the main reason for chaos. Vehicles stuck in traffic jams, bad roads, lack to public transport, improper rain waterharvesting and waste mismanagement, etc are some examples of human activities leading to large chaos and thus irreversible damage to nature.

Its high time the governments and the society start the corrective actions.
