Climate Change: Positives!!

Climate change debates in world has remained a occupation for the doomsday predictors...more inclined toward scientific explainations. But there are positives too associated with climate change scenarios. To our mind can these be considered positives;

(A) Climate change is natural phenomenon and natural processess adjust and adapt to such change (with equal speed).
(B) Nature works out the methods in dealing with Hydrological and Vegetational changes.
(C) Certain areas are likely to have gradual increase in rainfall like semi-arid and arid regions woudl enable large areas under the vegetation and crops.
(D) Cold deserts would be no more uninhabitable and can be utilized by humans for activities mainly in Northern Kashmir, South-Central China, large areas in Russia and Europe.
(E) Behavior of clouds is not fully understood and which is an important factor controlling the rainfall and precipitation. In most of the climate change studies clouds are not modelled in order to predict the changes.
(F) Regional and Agro-Climatic changes are yet to be predicted and local climate changes are not equivelent to the Global predictions as presented in IPCC reports.
(G) Technological changes would occur faster then predicted and most of the industrial process would target the least emission targets.
(H) Dependence on the fossil fuel would likely to go down within next 20 years with high cost of the fuel and discovery of new sources of energy.

and many more..to understand the other side of the climate change...debates..

SEZ and Zoning

Special Economic Zones are one of the important steps taken for placing the nations and states on the economic boom in developing countries. These are opportunities fed to the industrial sector to invest in maximum in the regions they find suitable for their venture. Both India and China has been able to invite large scale investments in the regions which were supposed to be backward (rather vacant lands) and networked with cities. People in the region they ventured were having least knowledge of the activities rather it was states which had imposed their decision to the local governments. Every local body has to toe the line of state and national governments. People at these points are insignificant given the investments. How would the existing dwellers cope with new change in usage? Did anybody visualise these 10 years ago? Why SEZ is seperate local authority where in Local bodies have no power to regulate? Then who takes care of sustainable development (land and its resources) centre or state or concerned SEZ? Formal hearing of SEZ as per the current Environment Laws have taken place true in the respective villages without overseeing the overall the project. This kind of foot loose planning is going to destroy the regions where they would be placed. Today almost all the leading states are running after time to complete and allocate the land for SEZ and huge success are reported in Gujarat, Maharasthra, AP and even Madhya Pradesh.

We have not learned serious lessons from the climate change debate or rather our technocrats and professionals are providing only lip service. We have started branding industry are climate friendly and 'green' terming the whole carbon debate defunct and obscene limited to cleaning the act. Forget about stopping developmental violence initiated by the libralised and globalised state..for coming years!!
