Climate Change: Its for Real!

1. Monsoons Shift by 2 months.
2. Unprecedented Floods in Draught Prone North Karnataka/Andhra
3. After being declared a draught state we have a possible flood situation in UP.

If this is not climate change then what is!

I think Indian Government's expectation that developed countries take the lead in solving this problem is very short sighted. It is high time we accept that our doing or not, we are going to be affected by it. In fact our population is going to be the most effected by it. Climate Change is real and we have to do something, anything!

For a country like India it is an opportunity to take the lead in sustainable development. It is an opportunity to make the west follow us in 50 years time. Innovative ways to fulfil our energy needs, Protecting our bio-diversity among other things are need of the hour.

The trick is to take climate change as an opportunity to bring the next revolution instead of thinking it as a hindrance to our growth.

What is depressing is that I haven't heard/seen any media mention of linking any of the above incidents to climate change:( Its high time we get going. Any politician listening?

P.S. All those who are with me in thinking, Gandhi was wayyyyyyy ahead of his time, say aye!
