[GJM] Mitigation and reversal .

[Muhammad Mukhtar Alam]

Dear Martin,
   
  If the temperature in Delhi, India are presented then here we have experienced late onset of winter. A respected newspaper The Hindu www.hinduonnet.com carried an article by Kalpana Sharamacabout the things that need to be done for mitigating the impact of global warming. 
   
  Adaptation is always there for changes..But then with destruction of so many ecologically sustainable habitats, I do not think we should stay calm and poised in cities with ecologically hostile skyscrappers..We also need to get rid of the common but differentiated responsibility agreed in 1992 and incorporated in the Kyoto Protcol in 1997 and bring in India and China on board.

  Dear Robert, Philip Stott and all -

It's minus 27 degrees celsius here in Edmonton Alberta this morning, with a 
wind chill that brings it down to minus 40. Well below seasonal normals. 
Sure as hell doesn't feel like global warming to me!!

More seriously, I think of those woolly mammoths of 15,000 or so BC, eating 
summer flowers in Alaska and Siberia, and suddenly finding themselves quick 
frozen, until we dig them out of the permafrost today. Then of North America 
covered in an ice sheet half a kilometer thick, whose melting perhaps 6,000 
years ago likely was connected with the Great Flood, and whose remnants are 
the glaciers that are slowly melting away today.

In short, while it's certainly good to curb greenhouse gases and pollution 
of all kinds, we shouldn't get the idea that climate change will be entirely 
halted by these means. I agree - we have to be ready to adapt.
