Imagine a situation where you are faced with a famine like situation. Grains are simply not available. Needless to say if there are no enough food grains to eat, there cannot be any trading either.
So what prompts this scenario? As Gandhiji once famously said, there is enough for every one’s need but not greed – is now becoming prophetic. One reason is obviously population explosion and the cascading effect is climate change.
Each one of you may be thinking that climate change will affect this world after your life is over. Your fathers and fore fathers thought so and your children will think so in future. The only difference is that your children will think this in a much regrettable way than what your forefathers have thought.
So where are we headed? Merely buying and selling carbon through exchanges help? That doesn’t reduce the carbon that emitted, but just makes a business sense. But carbon trading scenario has benefitted the climate change lobbying as more and more people are realizing how important it is to preserve this earth from decaying.
Some three million people, in freezing temperatures, listened to President Barack Obama on January 20 as he said ‘each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet’.
“Though the government supports the theory of warming, critics believe this theory represents a gross misrepresentation of data, and that the world may instead be at the start of an extended period of global cooling,” he added.
Wait, what is this global cooling? It is not a new concept but buried under a more alarming warming propositions. A group that propagates global cooling suggests that temperatures will go down in the coming decades to such a level that the Earth may be headed for a new ice age.
Cooling theory is related to Milankovitch cycles which create successions of warm and cool periods that may last for 100,000 years causing shorter climate shifts converting the earth into an ice field lasting as many as 15,000 years.
This is on contrast to the common and established assessment that increasing levels of atmospheric carbon will have a global warming.
Where warming theory is directly proportional to carbon dioxide, cooling theory is all about natural variations in the earth’s axial tilt, orbital shape (eccentricity) and axial direction (precession).
But the cooling theory has few takers compared to its opposite. Experts also believe that the earth will crumble if two different theories contradicting each other surfaces and the governments will be confused to grant funds to which cause.
“Between two theories lies a truth. When two different theories on the same subject collide with each other, truth is the causality. In this case life is truth and that should be the focal point of any theory,” said a scientist involved with a green house gas emission programme in Switzerland.
Some lobbies have also found a middle path between these two. They have presented papers which satisfies both parties. This paper states that the next twenty years will have a cooler period with a large warming trend.
Analysts believe this is the height of killing a cause. “How can you deny that there is carbon dioxide around us that is changing the entire cycle of our life?” one of them asked.
There is no doubt, he continued, that the temperatures will rise by at least 13 degrees in the next 80 years bringing changes to the pattern. Expect more droughts, floods, storms and other weather related events will rise.
“We will have to then study what caused them and how it can be prevented. But for that we have to bring the climate to a level of experimentation,” he said.
