'Global warming is natural,
enjoy it' Declares Indian Geologist
'Global cooling will lead to
our extinction'
Award-winning Indian Geologist Dr. Ritesh Arya, who specializes in
hydrogeology and groundwater resources in the Himalayas, declared, "Global
warming is natural, enjoy it" and asserted that "man is too small to cause any
impact on global warming." Arya, who has authored several research papers and
was invited by the Royal Geographical Society in 2005 to discuss climate change,
warned that "global cooling will lead to our extinction."
"Holding man and his activities responsible for pollution is acceptable,
(delete truth) but holding him responsible for global warming is an Inconvenient
Truth because man is too small to cause any changes of global scale on a
sustainable basis," Arya said on January 5, 2008. Arya says his new paper
"emphasises the need to re-examine the global warming definition as proposed by
UN IPCC which holds man and his activities responsible for increased global
warming in recent years. Experiments carried by the author while drilling wells
in the Indus Basin clearly show that major glaciers, including the Indus Glacier
which extended from Mansarovar in Tibet to the Arabian Sea, melted much before
the advent of industrialisation and the rates of receding of glaciers, though
unknown in those times, were much faster then are being projected and related to
the activities of man today."
"The time has come to put things about global warming straight, before it
is too late. Associating global warming to the activities of man as proposed by
UN IPCC and holding mankind's actions responsible for directly or
indirectly contributing to increased greenhouse gases, leading to enhanced
temperatures or faster melting rates of glaciers, will only make things worse
because the definition and approach tries to establish a mathematical
relationship between man and his environment but completely fails
to explain the process in totality. Hence this confused scenario where we
have become our own enemies and it seems we are fighting a lost battle. But the
reality is totally different and man is too small to cause any impact on global
warming," Arya explained.
"So-called greenhouse gases are essential for our survival now and
increased population in the future, but today these gases are treated as if
they are threatening our very existence by enhancing the global warming
processes. Global cooling will lead to our extinction. Imagine living in
Antarctica or Greenland for the rest of the life without water, without
cyclones, without floods. So it's high time we learn to enjoy global warming,"
Arya said.
Arya says his paper "is based on the data gathered for over a decade from
the borewell samples drilled in the paleo-glacio-fluvial deposits of the Indus
basin in Ladakh, Indian Himalayan region. Borewell samples analysed from the
wells drilled clearly show that global warming and cooling processes are
like day and night though with longer durations. They are an essential part of
the global climate natural cycle which acts in uniform to continuously change
the various landforms on this mother earth and make it geomorphologicaly so
beautiful."

Note: Scientists in India are speaking out to publicly dissent from
man-made climate fears and reject the views of their fellow countryman
, UN IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri. See:
India Issued a 2008 report challenging
global warming fears. Also, Indian geologist Dr. Arun D.
Ahluwalia at Punjab University and a board member of the UN-supported
International Year of the Planet recently slammed climate fears and UN. "The
IPCC has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn't listen to others. It
doesn't have open minds… I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been
given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists."

Ayra, who has been the recipient of the Great Indian Achievers Award 2004 and
the Bharat Excellence Award 2003, rejected man-made climate fears in 2008.
"There is urgent need to put the phenomenon, which had not been triggered off
suddenly, in the right perspective, as today almost every human activity right
from vehicular emissions to use of polythene is being linked to global warming
which was a much larger event which started as soon as the Ice Age ended. The
fact was that the 'biotic' agents (man and other living organisms) had a very
small role compared to the 'abiotic' (geological, geomorphologic, climatologic,
planetary and hydrological) events like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
tsunamis, movement of glaciers and landslides," Arya told
The Tribune on
February 18, 2008. According to the article, Arya termed "the hype and panic
over 'global warming' as 'unnecessary.'" "There is a hype of global warming
created by western mass media and there is a need to redefine the whole
concept," Arya said on June 14, 2008. He also has been recognized by the
Guinness World Records for his "achievement in finding groundwater in the
Chushul area at an altitude of more than 14,000 ft." (
