I am sure

u have read the above comments and my answers to UNNI too.

here in india too many discussions keeps happening..

it is nice to maintain..

but tibet is not so as it is today due to human intervention..

geographical / geophysical reasons are more than the human..

many times problems are extra important to get more research resources and to pull money into accademic interests.

some time too much of politics too..

[drtpsasikumar]

predicting the nature, that too at city / populous places - which makes only the smallest percentage of the globe.

The data collected at a few airports (for the past few years the number of airports increased in number, but how many years of data were in the database.?)

Today satellite based measurements made it better.

Thus when we say data of hundreads of years, it is for a small area, that too at a few locations !!

That is the issue in models here, data and quality. Then prediction model.

[drtpsasikumar]

SEEN and read enough on these.

did lot of effort in learning through.

have seen many proff and counter.

more than science / scientists it is the political interest seen.

too many restrictions / public being out against it.

CHINA is cool.

[drtpsasikumar]

technically we are not good even to predict the WEATHER for the next few days.

how to predict the CLIMATE for the years to come.

data / analysis are all just made for the purpose of the policy.

scientists work for project and money are blind at times.

[drtpsasikumar]

many times these are hight geo-politics.

see the movie British TV production on

The Great Global Warming Swindle - Produced by WAGTV

[drtpsasikumar]

In the context of Global Warming Haux being made by Americans, the axe being put on the developmental activity of India and China is being looked at in this interview.

The restrictions on the polution is argued as baseless as it will hamper the development. Developed nations are poluting this world more. The per head contribution is what Indian government including Sri.Manmohan singh argued.

ok then stop global warming mr.unnivadakkan

[naveenedin]

hi dr, Gud to c ur interview. i got couple of questions to ask. I live in the uk and global warming is a hot topic and there are hugh protests against this by enviromentalists. india and other countries are widely accused for its share in this process-how do u react to that? what would be ur answer to the people out here who scares and dreads about global warming, realistically, how much can a humanbeing regulate this. I realise i had many questions, reply if you got time.

Thanks

Naveen.

"SEEN and read enough on these. did lot of effort in learning through have seen many proff and counter"

Dr Sasikumar, This is not the right approach in my opinion. If you are convinced by your self, I would appreciate if you could explain that. I am not an expert in this, however I am reasonably familiar with what is going on around and trying to understand and learn. In fact I came to your blog while I was searching about studies/work regarding global warming in India.

[unnivadakkan]

If you look at weather predictions in India and in US, I see a lot of differences in terms of how accurate they are. We can in fact predict weather, may not be years to come but within two or three days. Again you may probably know the NE program using one of the fastest super computer to model weather patterns in the next 50 years or so. I don't know what kind of modeling approach they take to do that; however I am reluctant to comment that they are bogus efforts.

[unnivadakkan]

By the by, I was talking about weather predictions in US.

"data / analysis are all just made for the purpose of the policy.

scientists work for project and money are blind at times"

Again, here also I could agree partially, not 100%. What is wrong in formulating a policy based on data, I agree that it shouldn't happen the other way. In fact probably you may know that, there was a time where research is being done for the sake of research even in Industries and we know the out come of it.
