"I learned that geology,geologists and geological resources can change the destiny of any country" Dr Ritesh Arya  Drilling for Ground Water at World Record AltitudesDr. Ritesh Arya was one of the first hydrogeologists to explore and drill highelevation wells in the Himalayas. Since then he has completed many wells that now deliver safe reliable water to thousands of people. In doing this work he has earned three world records. These are for: 1) the highest successful water well at North Polu - 15,400 feet (4694 meters) above mean sea level; 2) the highest well with artesian flow at Chushul - 14,260 feet (4346 meters) above mean sea level; and, 3) a water well drilled under the coldest conditions near the snout of Siachen Glacier - at an altitude of 12,000 feet (3658 meters) where temperatures drop to minus 40 degrees Celsius in winter. We recently had the opportunity to communicate with Dr. Arya about his high mountain drilling. His comments on relevant questions are below. What triggered your interest in high mountain drilling?"My first daily wage job was as a hydrogeologist with the government of Himachal Pradesh at $2 a day. At that time the mountains were considered to be devoid of ground water resources. I had little option but to accept the challenge and work forthe development of ground water resources in the region. The work was to solve the drinking water problems by exploring sites for ground water development by drilling wells and installing hand pumps. My first posting was in Barsar in Hamirpur District of Himachal Pradesh. I saw the drilling rig for the first time when I arrived at the site. All of the villagers were curiously waiting for me to locate the well site so that the drilling could be started. This was a most challenging experience, as we did not have any instruments or any information that could be used to select the site. I considered it as a challenge and applied simple logic which was mainly based upon the peculiar lithology of the site and the water bodies present in the form of springs, which I felt were nothing but manifestations of the ground water resources. Within six hours a depth of 150 feet (46 meters) was achieved and by evening the water gushed out from the well. I was mesmerized and the whole village was overjoyed with the success of a well that could solve their drinking water problems. For the first time I realized the practical significance of geology and its importance in solving the day-to-day problems faced by people of the mountainous regions. Success continued for three more boreholes; however, the fourth well at Bhota bus stand was dry. No water was encountered even after drilling up to 300 feet (92 meters). I learned that groundwater is not available everywhere. However, at this location there was an old fort at the top of the hill and I wondered how an army could survive there without water. So, I went up to investigate and found two wells in the fort that had been constructed in the 17th century! I was amazed and immediately bowed down in respect of my hydrological ancestors who located these wells without modern instruments, satellite images or other information. Over the years I visited other forts and found successful wells at the top of hills. I learned from these wells and developed a model to explain the occurrence and movement of ground water in the Himalayas. I have used this model with great success and have presented it at scientific meetings." What challenges do you face drilling at highelevations?"There are several problems to be faced when drilling at high elevations. These include: With these problems being solved, now every borehole drilled successfully helps break the notion of the limited availability of ground water in the region. We also find joy in bringing water to where previously the inhabitants were forced to fetch water from distant sources and things were miserable in winters when everything froze." What types of aquifers are the wells drilled into and do you have a prediction of their lifetimes?"The aquifers mainly tapped in the area are perennial and found in both confined and unconfined conditions. The aquifers are manly in the form of paleochannels. The entire Himalayas has been divided into various hydrostratigraphic zones. A word coined by me to explain the behavior of ground water resource in a particular lithostratigraphic unit. The rule of thumb for exploring for water in the mountains is that there is enough water available; however the identification of the well location has to be site specific. There could be a distance of thirty feet (ten meters) or less between a successful well and a failure well. They are mainly controlled by the lithology, the structure and also the geomorphology of the region. All these parameters have to be worked out in detail before selection of the site to get 100% successful results. The water can be found in thin, 3-4 inch (7 to 10 centimeter) thick zones in glacio-fluvial deposits. Depths of aquifers vary from a few feet / meters below the ground to 330 feet (100 meters) below the ground. The granites were generally considered to be devoid of ground water resources and whatever water we were finding was confined to the intermountain valley region. However, to our surprise, a well drilled at an altitude of 15,200 feet (4633 meters) at South Polu at the base of Khardungla Hill failed to yield any water up to the depth of 230 feet (70 meters). This is the thickness of the glacio-fluvial deposits. At one point of time, since no water was encountered, the entire project was abandoned as the basement granite batholiths were encountered. But the decision of the driller to try drilling into the granite hills paved way and after drilling for about 20 feet (6 meters) we got the aquifer. So the notion that the granite batholiths are devoid of water was broken and we had water at that altitude. This has been happening every time. The mountains are full of mystery and we are just trying to unfold the different layers of their nature. Although most boreholes drilled fit into my model of the Himalayas, some boreholes do shock me and make me think certain that the science of geology is mysterious and always has something new to offer." Do you think that the yields from these wells will be sustained and what could be the impact of global warming on these resources in the mountains?"Yes, this is the million-dollar question. How long these resourses are going to last when water sources in other parts of the country and world are drying up and ground water levels are going down due to over exploitation. I don't expect this to happen in the mountains. We should expect a bounty of ground water as the climate warms and the snows melt. In fact I visualize that in next few years the volume of water will increase in the mountains at an alarming rate as a result of melting of snow due to global warming. The channels in the mountains in various hydrostratigraphic zones have a particular storage capacity and once the subsurface water in the mountains reaches that threshold point, the mountains will not be able to retain and channelize the ground water. This will result in mountain bursting leading to massive flash floods. This phenomenon can be seen in the mountains today but only on a small scale and often confused with a cloud burst. Unfortunately, mountain flooding of a larger magnitude could occur in the near future, triggering major geomorphological changes besides leading to the end of major habitations enroute as it did in the past leading to the end of the Indus, Harappan and other contemporary civilizations. The impact of global warming in the mountains is a poorly understood phenomenon and its impact on human civilization could be more devastating than that caused by tsunamis in the coastal areas." Who are possible clients for high altitude wells?"The first project was sponsored by Water Aid, a charitable trust in England who wanted to solve the drinking water problems of about 10,000 Tibetans residing in the deserts of Ladakh, bordering the Indo-Tibetan border. The funding was done through the Central Tibetan Administration of his Holiness the Dalai Lama with their headquarters at Dharamsala. The project was successfully completed in 1997 and even after a span of ten years, the Tibetan community can boast of having a 24-hour water supply, 365 days per year. Prior to this the situation was bad and entire families were surviving on 20 liters (5 gallons) per day. After the success this project, the local administrations, military, oil companies , and various other government and non-government organizations approached me to solve their drinking water problems in and around Leh. Many projects have been completed and are still running successfully and the dependency on water tankers has decreased. I feel the most important opportunity came my way when the Leh Field Research Laboratory approached me to develop ground water resources to for their agricultural projects. This was a great challenge and on completion of this project the production rose by almost 60% in the first year. Not only this, but the milk production also increased as cattle were more comfortable drinking ground water which was warm as compared to frozen water from streams in winter. Now, ground water development has become a people's movement because more and more civilians, including hoteliers and homeowners are developing wells to meet their water requirement. To summarize it all, the journey of ground water development in the last ten years has revolutionized the concept of water planning and its distribution in the Himalaya region. The dependency on surface water has decreased and the cost incurred to procure water has drastically decreased. But still a lot has to be done to actually instigate the policy makers and executors as a majority of decision-makers are engineers who have very low respect/knowledge for the subsurface waters and want to restrict the role of hydrogeologist to give the site only." What are your plans for future drilling?"The satisfaction of being able to provide water to the people living in water deficient areas in Himalayan mountain ranges especially in the high altitude cold mountain deserts of Ladakh is immense. In the future I look forward to helping farmers to bring about a green revolution in the mountains and popularise ground water resource development in the Hindu Kush Himalayas where, even today, irrigation systems are poorly developed and still in a primitive stage, i.e. dependant on nature mainly snow melt from the glaciers. I also plan to develop sites along the highest motorable road in the world which is at 18000 feet (5486 meters) and prove that every peak which is less than 29,029 feet (8848 meters) - the height of Mt. Everest - above mean sea level will have ground water provided certain geological conditions are met. Since the area is pollution free and the water available here is naturally endowed with minerals, I plan to develop such sites to provide pure water sources for bottling companies. Ground water fluctuations and chemical change can be an important scientific study which can be used to understand plate movements and as a precursor to earthquakes in the Himalayan region. Data collected from the borewells is being seriously studied and reinterpreted to understand the global warming phenomenon. Last, but not least, I would request hydrogeologists, scientists and policy makers to consider mountain hydrogeology as an entity that is very different from the plains of the Indo-Gangetic region and peninsular India where it is depleting. Contrary to this groundwater will increase in the mountains in years to come." |

Water Wells Drilled at World Record Altitudes by Dr. Ritesh Arya
Explore geo-thermal energy, says expert

Explore geo-thermal energy, says expert
Express News Service Posted: Jan 03, 2009 at 0205 hrs ISTShimla..
Ritesh Arya, a groundwater expert, today urged the Himachal Pradesh government to explore the possibilities of tapping geo-thermal energy, uranium deposits, and oil and natural gases to make the state economically sound.
Speaking at a meet organised by the Department of Environment Protection, Arya said HP has potential to generate geo-thermal energy at Tattapani (Shimla) and Manimahesh (Kullu), besides using the spots as tourism attractions.
He was surprised that no detailed mapping of state has been done for exploration of mineral and natural gas resources. The state has deposits of uranium and gold, beside other valuable minerals. The exploration for oil and natural gas had started at Jawalji, but was abandoned abruptly. There is need to revise the work, he suggested.
Arya, who has worked in the state’s IPH Department as a hydrologist, has now specialised on groundwater and geological issues. He is now working with the defence forces at Leh for exploration of groundwater.
Arya disagreed that global warming spell doom for the biosphere. The climactic change, he said, has created new opportunities for countries like India to reap the benefits. He suggested a 14-point programme called WASSHED to ensure quality drinking water by involving school children at the primary level. He asked the government to take strict action against industrialists for polluting water sources.
Arya recommended that all water bodies be declared a national heritage, and those polluting these sources be penalised.

‘Man, be not proud, global warming is not your creation’

SORRY STATE ‘Man, be not proud, global warming is not your creation’ TIMES NEWS NETWORK
Chandigarh: Last week, Sydney switched off lights to express its growing concern about global warming and the need for humans to do something about it. But listen to Ritesh Arya, a city-based Guiness book record holder hydro-geologist, the Australians need not have bothered. For, he says, humans are too insignificant to damage the environment that dramatically.
Arya, a PU alumni, will be giving an oral presentation at the third international conference on climate and water in Helsinki. The presentation will be at the session on “Climate change and water resources: Risk and risk management.”
Talking to TOC, Arya said, ‘‘Although global warming is a much-hyped subject, there is mounting evidence that human activity is too insignificant to impact Earth’s ecology so drastically. Whatever findings we have so far do not link up properly and science has not been able to justify many of the stands we have taken.’’
For instance, he says, ‘‘if human activity is to be blamed for a hole in the ozone layer, then it really does not make sense that the hole is on Antarctica which sees near negligible human activity. Also there is growing evidence that global warming followed by global cooling is a natural cycle and will happen with or without human contribution.’’
The entire Indus river was a glacier once upon a time, he said. Global cooling resulted in ice ages and global warming started melting it. The glaciers were now confined to higher Himalayas, clearly showing that how little impact man had in controlling the warming process, he said.
Referring to recent reports indicating that Himalayan glaciers will melt by 2030, Arya said, “I would give them some more years say by 2060 and then the glacial ages or the global cooling will start again resulting in the formation of glaciers and beginning of ice age. Cooling will have to follow warming process. That is sure,” he said.
The incredible waterman

More significantly, Arya’s pioneering research is likely to redefine Himalayan hydrology and change the traditional schemes for drinking water and irrigation in rain-deficit Ladakh, which has so far been harnessing mostly surface water from the river Indus or glacier-fed streams.
The incredible waterman
Ramesh Vinayak Leh, October 9, 2007 India TodayAt 18,380 ft in the Himalayas, Khardung La, a wind-swept pass with scanty oxygen on the world’s highest motorable road in Ladakh, is the ultimate milestone for record-crazy adventure seekers.
But, Ritesh Arya’s fascination with craggy and barren mountains runs deeper, literally. This intrepid hydrogeologist is about to succeed in his quest for ground water on Khardung La—a feat that could surpass his own world record of digging borewells at high altitudes.
Already, sparkling clear ground water is streaming out of two borewells he had dug recently at South Pullu and North Pullu, army posts and snow shelters on either side of the pass at 15,300 ft and 15,400 ft, respectively.
Until a month ago, the only source of drinking water here were water tankers from distant Leh and Partapur at the base of the Siachen glacier.
“It’s nothing short of a miracle to get ground water at this height,” gushes a Junior Commissioned Officer of the military police post at South Pullu, an area where granite rocks abound which, according to conventional geology, are too impervious to hold any ground water.
But Arya perceived a narrow valley of rock debris at the base of the receding Khardung glacier, now 6 km from the road, as the most definite indicator of ground water charged by the melting glacier. And, two days after a rig drilled a 300-ft deep hole, it struck a ground water reservoir.
Arya plans his drilling operations after studying the exposed rock faces in the landscape. Such exploits come naturally to him, a diminutive 39-year-old who holds a PhD degree in geology.
By combining his hands-on expertise in Himalayan geology with an unconventional approach, this hydrogeologistturned-professional driller has broken new ground on scientific exploitation of ground water in the high-altitude, cold desert of Ladakh.
In the past 12 years, Arya has dug more than a hundred borewells in inhospitable and treacherous terrains where no geologist or government agency has ventured before. From Siachen glacier to the China border, the Indus plains of Leh and the Kargil heights, his explorations have ensured all-weather ground water supplies to the army and civilians alike.
Apart from perennial shortage, there is also the problem of silt in glacier melt in summer and freezing of surface water sources in winter. In Leh town, for example, only 10 per cent of the population— which rises from 15,000 to 50,000 every summer due to tourist inflow— has access to ground water through public taps, the rest depends on water tankers.
Ground water exploitation in Ladakh, undertaken by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), has been confined to areas along the Indus river. Exploration beyond that has always been discouraged on the premise that a rocky mountain desert cannot hold ground water.
But, Arya punched holes in this belief by digging a borewell for the army at 14,000 ft in Chushul on China border in 2006—a feat that earned him an entry in the Guiness Book of World Records. “It’s like rediscovering the simple principles of geology and physics operating in high-altitudes,” says Arya.
“His borewells are not only a costeffective solution to the army’s rising water needs in Ladakh but have also boosted the morale of the troops,” says Sanjay Kaul, assistant commander works engineer at the newly-set up 14 Corps in Leh.
“A systematic development of untapped potential of ground water can lead to green revolution in this cold desert,” says Arya. He has since drilled borewells to augment water supply schemes for, among others, the Airports Authority of India, the Indian Oil Corporation, the Indian Air Force and field research laboratory of the Defence Research and Development Organisation.
Ashok Sahni, Professor Emeritus at the Centre for Advanced Geology of Panjab University, calls Arya “an unconventional hydrogeologist”.
“He took a risk by drilling in the mountains and has struck abundant ground water where it was earlier seen as impossible,” says Sahni.
Arya’s discovery is based on practical experience gleaned from five years of digging hand pumps in Himachal Pradesh where he worked as a daily-wager hydrogeologist with the state government. What, however, added depth to his knowledge was his study of wells in 17th century forts on hill tops in Hamirpur and Solan districts.
“The traditional mountain water supply techniques were based on intuitive science,” says Arya.
To explain the prevalence of ground water in mountains, including the ones that have no rain-fed seepage or snowfall, Arya divided the Himalayas into seven hydrostratigraphic zones in 1996 in a study he presented the same year at the International Conference of Geology in China.
At the heart of his ground-breaking thesis is the finding that ground water resources in the Himalayan region depend on the type of rocks and structural parameters like folds, fissures and fault-lines in the rock strata.
The mountains have ground acquifers just like plains but the water movement in high-altitudes is controlled by the principles of gravity and iso-stacy (wherein the water level is itself up). In his reckoning, even a barren mountain top below the height of Mount Everest will have ground water resources, provided it has favourable lithological conditions like the presence of water-absorbing sedimentary rocks or impervious rocks with water-trapping fault-lines.
“Arya’s high success rate in high-altitude borewells has flowed from his intimate technical knowledge of hydrogeology,” says former CGWB chairman R.K. Chadda.
Arya has a near 100 per cent success rate in his borewells commissioned on a no-water-no-payment basis. Experts view his explorations as significant in the backdrop of receding glaciers and rising demand for water in the Ladakh region.
Also, troop deployment, which has increased manifold since a new Corp was set up in Ladakh after the Kargil war in 1999, adds to the shortage.
“The water level of the river Indus has fallen alarmingly this year, affecting irrigation schemes,” says Chering Dorjay, Chairman of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council. Clearly, with Arya around, at least water is something that this cold desert will never thirst for.

Groundwater study to predict tremors
Tribune News Service
Shimla, May 19
Hydro-geologist Ritesh Arya, who earned a place in the Guinness Book
of Records for striking groundwater at the highest elevation in the
cold deserts of Ladakh, maintains that fluctuations in the level and
chemical composition of ground water resources could be used for
predicting earthquakes in the Himalayan region.
Having studied the "little-understood" mountain hydrogeology in depth
and gained rare experience while carrying out ground water
explorations in the high-altitude areas of the Himalayas for the past
almost two decades, he had gathered enough knowledge about the Paleo-
channels in the mountains in various hydrostratigraphic zones which
could be used for the purpose, he told The Tribune here. Changes in
ground water are an important scientific indicator for understanding
plate movements and as a precursor to earthquakes in the Himalayan
region.
Giving details of the study being carried out in collaboration with
Dr D.K. Chaddha under the banner of "Global Groundwater Solutions",
he said that four piezometre-based Paleo-seismic stations had been
set up at Parwanoo, Darlaghat, Sabathu and Dharamsala to monitor
changes in ground water levels for the purpose. The site of the first
three stations was important as the next tectonic event was expected
in the Shivaliks along the path of the old Saraswati river and the
present Ghaggar river . The foothill areas like Parwanoo, Pinjore and
Panchkula fell into the danger zone. It was important to ensure that
structures constructed in the region were earthquake-resistant. The
project had been funded by the Union Ministry of Science and
Technology.
He said data collected from the borewells was being seriously studied
and reinterpreted for predicting earthquakes and to understand the
global warming phenomenon. During the earthquake at Latur there was a
surge in the level of ground water several hours before the event
occurred. It had been observed that the water level either increases
or decreases sharply before a tremor hits an area. Further, its
chemical composition is also altered due to an increase in Radon
gases because of excessive of radioactivity before and after the
event. These along with the natural springs and geysers (hot springs)
like the ones at Manikaran and Tattapani are important precursors of
geothermic activity which precedes an earthquake.
Arya underlined the need for extensive Paleo-tectonic studies not
only for the exploration of ground water but also understating the
complex phenomenon like global warming and the increasing incidence
of flash floods in the region.

| Hydrogeology of the Indian Himalayas: A review | |||
| Arya, Ritesh India | |||
Present paper highlights the recent advances made in the hydrogeological sciences in the Hindu Kush Himalayan region based on the data collected from 25000 borewells drilled in different hydrostratigraphic zones identified by Arya, 1996 to solve the drinking water and meet the growing industrial and agricultural requirements in the hills states of northwest Indian Himalayas. Success stories where groundwater resources has changed the socio economic status of the people residing in the high altitude cold mountain deserts of Ladakh will be highlighted.
Historical development of groundwater resources in Himalayas and need of traditional methods of exploration will be emphasised in comparison to the modern geophysical and remote sensing methods, to systematically explore and develop the groundwater resources.
Borehole data from the wells drilled on the snouts of highland glaciers in the cold mountain deserts of Ladakh at an altitude of more then 11000 feet above the mean and encountering of artesian conditions at 14230 feet at Chushul will be used to know the extent of glacial melt and rate of recharging taking place. Impact of global warming on the hydrogeological system in the mountain will be studied.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that global warming is a natural phenomenon and man and his activities after the industrial revolution in 16th century had little role to enhance the already receding glaciers most of them have already become extinct in the Lesser Himalayan region during those times. Borehole data will also be used to infer the paleo mountain flooding activities in the past which led to the extinction of major habitations and civilisations which flourished in the valleys along the foot hills in the past. This flooding seems to be acyclic event (?) which can trigger even today once the hydrostatic pressure due to global warming increases the volume of water stored in the paleochannels in these mountains.
Case studies will be highlighted where groundwater levels in the borewells drilled along the major faults and contact boundaries in these Himalayan regions has been used as a tool to monitor the crustal movements and earthquakes Inspite of the fact detailed quantitative analysis has been carried in the last 15 years, qualitative analysis and dating of these groundwater resources in remote corners of Himalayas is still a challenge and hardly any scientific documentation has been done. Lastly model will be projected to show the occurrence, movement and development of groundwater resources in entire Hindu Kush Himalayan region and its importance in the overall economic and sustainable development in remote inaccessible areas.
Mountain flooding induced due to global warming

| HP mountain burst sparks volcano fears Experts Line Up To Study If Its Linked To Global Warming Priya Yadav | TNN Mountain bursting, in which water gushes down from a mountain after an explosion and causes massive landslides, is being linked to global warming. The strange phenomenon was recently witnessed at Rangrik village in Himachal Pradeshs Lahaul & Spiti district and it caused widespread fears of a volcanic activity. Glacial melting due to global warming leads to increased accumulation of groundwater in mountains . Once the capacity of a mountain exceeds its threshold, it can burst, causing flash floods, said Ritesh Arya, a hydro-geologist , who is also a Guinness World Record holder for discovering underground water at the highest altitude. A week ago, villagers were startled out of their homes by an exploding mountain, yielding huge quantities of water. Ever since, geologists have been making a beeline for the countryside to look for answers. Mountains arent dry as the water gets stored in rocks because of capillary action, said Ritesh, who will represent the country at World Water Week in Sweden beginning August 19. The world is scheduled to witness this phenomenon in the future, he said, adding, if cyclones and hurricanes are feared in coastal areas, mountain flash flooding is also the threat in the near future . Intrigued by the phenomenon, two geologists from Geological Survey of India are already on their way to the remote village, ready with equipment for scientific investigations. States department of science & technology is also readying to send its team of scientists to the site. R K Sood, joint member secretary, state council of science and technology, said, Weve asked the National Remote Sensing Agency to provide clear images of the mountain so that we can ascertain how big it is and what the impact of the occurrence is. Slippage of land can also cause similar activities .  A mountain burst at Rangrik village in Himachals Lahaul & Spiti district that led to oozing out of a huge quantity of water |

Man is creation of global warming,cooling will lead to his extinction
GLOBAL WARMING, EVOLUTION OF MAN: GLOBAL COOLING, EXTINCTION OF MAN
Man is creation of global warming!Cooling will lead to Extinction
Ritesh Arya
0091-9316722291
What do you mean global warming led to evolution of man??? And global cooling will lead to his extinction.
If this is right then what is this hype about global warming created by Al Gore and others. Today every activity of man seems to contribute to global warming which according to this school of thought would be threat to our existence.
And this statement is just opposite global warming led to evolution of man continuing warming led to his proliferation, diversification and dominance. Yes this is true and that is what we have witnessed since the last ice age which led to extinction of huge mammals on one hand and led to evolution of hominoids (Homo sapiens) on the other. Wow this seems to be an interesting bit of news and new interpretation about global warming.
Yes global warming lead to melting of glaciers, which leads to increased water in the system more water means more life and there we are in present case its him “the man”.
Then why is everybody treating global warming differently. Simple it is INCONVENIENT TRUTH because no one has seen global cooling and really donot understand what it actually means. Just imagine LIVING IN ANTARCTICA OR GREENLAND for rest of life when entire water freezes, forms ice and disappears from planet. There are no floods, no cyclones, no sea level rise and no submergence. No forests few life forms. It will be ice ice and ice only. People who live in poles or Greenland have maximum chances of surviving for couple of more years then rest of us.
When will that happen and if man becomes extinct what next? This is an important question with no answer because today debate and entire resources are targeted against global warming and making man guilty as if he is threatening his very existence. Actually this is Inconvenient truth. Global warming are best times to be on this planet. Cooling would be dooms day for us. No water no life simple principle but that day is quiet far away.
How can you say with surety why not in few years? Well because the sediments say so?? Sediments, yes sediments, borewell samples analysed by us clearly show that global warming started immediately when glaciers started melting , we had water. Water not only brought better and new form of life but also helped to transmit sediments accumulated during global cooling times in form of moraines. Warming seems to acts as a transporting agency to transmit various sediments from glacio fluvial deposits into streams and oceans. This is crazy, you mean they work in unison to make the earth geomorphologically newer every time the cycle is repeated. That’s interesting and if this is to be believed then next flood or cyclone could be predicted. You mean by looking at thickness of glacio-fluvial or Aeolian deposits accumulated around. Yes if thickness of deposit is more be prepared for a cyclone or flood because that is what global warming geologically means.
It seems that cooling acts for the extinction of species and formulates a place for the gestation whereas warming from evolution point of view leads to birth of new species in present case Man who evolved as the best mammal in the race for survival after the last ice age (when majority of mammals became extinct).Today with every passing year and better development of warming agencies he is getting stronger entering into age of Homo sapiens all mammals are either extinct of confined to zoos/ national parks. All plants are at our mercy and now even man cannot stop it.
Today he himself has become a player and if man is in anyway contributing to global warming it is in the form of inventing dynamic engineered machines to dig mother earth and then transport the sediments into the ocean. Work which floods and cyclones might have taken another ice age to do is presently being done by man in few years. This is the only way man is contributing to global warming.
Local variations in temperatures and chemical compositions of gases are part and parcel of the global warming package and may vary from time to time. Most of them mainly GHGs and CO2 are bound to increase to support the growing population now and i future, then why this hype. But today these ineffective parameters are the ones most talked about to reasons best known in name of green house gases or ozone depletion and now global warming.
As you cannot enjoy day without seeing the night or enjoy life if there was no death or vice versa same is true with global warming and cooling. Global warming in isolation has been misunderstood by few alarmists and projected wrongly to make truth (inconvenient). But in reality the truth is simple and different. Global warming is part of natural cyclic process away from being governed by geological or biological (manmade) event. Time when man will become extinct is still not known but it will take 1000s of more years. This can be said with certainty because the accumulation of the sediments is still very high in the glacio-fluvial deposits in high land mountains. The warming will continue till each sediments has been transported to oceans. Until then man will continue to rule planet having enough time to turn his fictions into reality. Did you say “enjoy global warming: its natural”. Yes but that can be done if we do it with precaution otherwise the fear of having AIDS will deprive us of the sexual pleasures. Similarly Life and property can be damaged if habitations are not selected properly i.e. away from floods and cyclones in GEOLOGICALLY STABLE AREAS. Or if they have to be constructed then condom (protection cover here geologically stable sites) has to be used.
Otherwise we won’t be able to enjoy warming because of the fear created by few alarmists who are not geologists and global cooling will lead to our extinction. Remember geologists are doctors of mother earth....but unfortunately technicians,chemists, physicists etc are using isolated elements to create panic and confusion and do business anything but truth......
There should be no doubt that we are in warming part of the natural cycle at present and the process will continue for years to come...
We can gift better ways of adapting to climatic changes.....specially global warming ....... and teach our children to live happily with this change....because warming is there to live.
Trilobites,Ammonites...Dinosaurs....mammoths........all ruled global warming and became extinct.......
today its man.......he will rule ...........the warming this time........
enjoy warming and let others enjoy it.......before we become extinct but that will take 1000s of year........
Will AIDS virus or something else will be the next to rule this planet during warming after the next ice age???
How can you say with surety why not in few years? Well because the sediments say so?? Sediments, yes sediments, borewell samples analysed by us clearly show that global warming started immediately when glaciers started melting , we had water. Water not only brought better and new form of life but also helped to transmit sediments accumulated during global cooling times in form of moraines. Warming seems to acts as a transporting agency to transmit various sediments from glacio fluvial deposits into streams and oceans. This is crazy, you mean they work in unison to make the earth geomorphologically newer every time the cycle is repeated. That’s interesting and if this is to be believed then next flood or cyclone could be predicted. You mean by looking at thickness of glacio-fluvial or Aeolian deposits accumulated around. Yes if thickness of deposit is more be prepared for a cyclone or flood because that is what global warming geologically means.
It seems that cooling acts for the extinction of species and formulates a place for the gestation whereas warming from evolution point of view leads to birth of new species in present case Man who evolved as the best mammal in the race for survival after the last ice age (when majority of mammals became extinct).Today with every passing year and better development of warming agencies he is getting stronger entering into age of Homo sapiens all mammals are either extinct of confined to zoos/ national parks. All plants are at our mercy and now even man cannot stop it.
Today he himself has become a player and if man is in anyway contributing to global warming it is in the form of inventing dynamic engineered machines to dig mother earth and then transport the sediments into the ocean. Work which floods and cyclones might have taken another ice age to do is presently being done by man in few years. This is the only way man is contributing to global warming.
Local variations in temperatures and chemical compositions of gases are part and parcel of the global warming package and may vary from time to time. Most of them mainly GHGs and CO2 are bound to increase to support the growing population now and i future, then why this hype. But today these ineffective parameters are the ones most talked about to reasons best known in name of green house gases or ozone depletion and now global warming.
As you cannot enjoy day without seeing the night or enjoy life if there was no death or vice versa same is true with global warming and cooling. Global warming in isolation has been misunderstood by few alarmists and projected wrongly to make truth (inconvenient). But in reality the truth is simple and different. Global warming is part of natural cyclic process away from being governed by geological or biological (manmade) event. Time when man will become extinct is still not known but it will take 1000s of more years. This can be said with certainty because the accumulation of the sediments is still very high in the glacio-fluvial deposits in high land mountains. The warming will continue till each sediments has been transported to oceans. Until then man will continue to rule planet having enough time to turn his fictions into reality. Did you say “enjoy global warming: its natural”. Yes but that can be done if we do it with precaution otherwise the fear of having AIDS will deprive us of the sexual pleasures. Similarly Life and property can be damaged if habitations are not selected properly i.e. away from floods and cyclones in GEOLOGICALLY STABLE AREAS. Or if they have to be constructed then condom (protection cover here geologically stable sites) has to be used.

Man is creation of global warming,cooling will lead to his extinction
