I dont knw where this whole global warming concept came into the picture, its the next new hype that is being propogated, let me ask you havent you seen/heard similar kind of evolutionary changes over time where the ice caps melted, there was high temperatures over a period of time? all this when we did not have automobiles or when the "western" civilization existed. Now we just have pictorial evidences in terms of photographs (old and current), temparature raises to validate our reasoning. Analysis, historical evidence, research needs to be presented to the general population so that they are not led to believe that this is man made completely.

Bharath you are absolutely right. Global warming happened all the time during earth's history . It happens due to increase in solar activity. Carbon emissions by human activity is negligible when compared to volcano activity. Its true. All rediff readers check the facts. The concept of Warming the Globe was created by a British Scientist. The funding for research was first started by the then British PM Margert Tracher. And the rest is history. Huge funding was poured in the study of Global warming. With the hype advanced nations are pushing for cleaner technologies like wind based, bio-desiel etc. All these technologies will be a disaster on large scale. Consumption and production equation dont match. Advanced nations are just pushing these technologies for making money.

He IS a frog in the well. Please Mr. Bharath Kumar, in millions of years of its existance, human being started using the fossil fuels, automobiles, industries, air-conditioning in last century. The amount of energy produced, gases emitted by human activities in last 20-30 years is more than what it did in the millions of years before.
Please have the sense to understand that the population has increased and and our concemption has increase. The earth is not of unmimited size as you would be imagining. Unless we start taking acre of the world we live in, our future generations will suffer.
