Title Global warming is Natural Enjoy it

Present paper is based on the data gathered for over a decade from the borewell samples drilled in the paleo-glaciated 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. They are essential part of the global climate natural cycle which act in uniform to continuously change the various landforms on this mother earth and make it geomorphologicaly so beautiful.
Holding man and his activities responsible for pollution is acceptable 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 sustainable basis.
This Paper emphasise the use of proper technology to improve production and decrease pollution on one hand and recommends use of renewable energy resources so that pure air can be made available to all. It also emphasises the need to re-examine the global warming definition as proposed by IPCC which holds man and his activities 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 Arabian sea melted much before the advent of Industrialisation and rates of receding of glaciers though unknown were much faster then are being projected and related to the activities of man.
Global warming has to be viewed in a different perspective where it is related to the influx of increased water in the natural system so that sediments deposited during global cooling times can be transported to rivers and oceans. Act in a similar way as the scavengers cleaning the earth and transporting them in the oceans. Cyclones, tsunamis, Flash floods, sea level rise, land submergence and glacial retreat are prominent and natural agencies responsible for the various processes of the global warming and helping her to transport the deposited material into the rivers/oceans. In this context man with his modern excavating machinery can also be called one of his agencies because he is also digging and at times transporting the deposits. Time has come to put things about global warming, straight, before it is too late.
Associating global warming to activities of man as proposed by IPCC, contributing to increased green house gases, leading to enhanced temperatures, or faster melting rates of glaciers will only make things worse because the definition does not explain the process in totality.
With little precaution while selecting the site for habitation near the coasts or glacio-fluvial valleys impacts of global warming like cyclones, flash flooding, land submergence etc can be minimised. Today technicians (chemists, physics, biologists, and radiologist) have become doctors of mother earth, whereas geologists who are real doctors of mother earth are less listened to by the politicians for reasons best known to them.
Imagine living in Antarctica or Greenland for the rest of the life without water, without cyclones, without floods. It will lead to out extinction.
So it’s high time, we learn to ”Enjoy global warming” otherwise what are we going to do in global cooling times.
