Indian Ocean, Kalipatar to Bella center

8.00 am my Big10 (a new BMTC bus) was fixed up b/w Bosch and the Forum mall it’s a normal stop for the bus at the Koramangala Traffic signal, in fact the bus stopped in twice the no: of stops communicated by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike to the BMTC when traffic gears up. I am used to the Bengaluru for almost two years now. December morn climate was not that chilly that one expects here. Nearly two kilometers on my way to this jammed place I saw some pleasant scene of cutting trees, my concerns about geared traffic is about to end as they increases the size of the road. We are changing the face of Bangalore it’s a new city now, my friends who stayed here for two decade says it’s a new Bangalore it’s an alien city. Climate, air, water all changed. Fortunately all got a justification for this “Global Warming”. It’s not just greenhouses gases like co2 and all its more to do with commons plastic usages, cutting trees and all accounts for this.

Indian Ocean bed and the Kalipatar are geographically distinct. Maldives a garland of beautiful islands and Nepal where in news as their cabinet meet at rather unusual venues. Maldives the lowest country in the world. Imagine an island that floats in Indian Ocean about 1.5 meters from sea level and highest place for this island is the lowest highest point in the planet, just 2.3 m!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This island was hugely hit by 04 tsunami, even the maps were planned to redraw. To raise their voice against Global warming the Maldives cabinet held a meeting and signed a document lighting the concerns about the small island safety in concern with the raising sea level, the venue was a strange one, bed of the Indian Ocean. Kalipatar, a plateau placed at 5200m one of the highest ranges of Everest was the venue for the Nepal assembly. Voice against global warming has started flowing below sea and above the sky; we all vow for a noble deal raise your voice.

The Copenhagen Bella center is all set to start the climate conference for 2009, where world leaders will debate the existence of this planet. Unlike the Kyoto protocols of 97 this would be success with world counties including US (who didn’t signed the protocol for reducing the emission of gases) has come with their participation having its President as the representative of the nation. The world demands high negotiations especially from the growing economies such as India, manufacturing monopolies such as China to cross check their industrial growth, reductions of gas emission etc. At end of the day all that the planet demands is a peaceful existence.
