Post Glacier-gate, it’s time to weigh the truth and open the gates of reason
Other water shortages, such as in the case of Punjab and neighbouring states, have also been blamed on lesser rainfalls or the depths of bore wells. Climate change skeptics have speculated that global warming and the rising temperatures are drying the earth due to the accentuated rate of decline of glaciers. Most of us are aware of the evident global warming and accept this truth, but the blunder of the so-called vanishing Himalayas of 2350, which were wrongly predicted to disappear by 2035, has left us with little faith on such studies and motivated us to take control of our lives, take informed decisions, and to stand our ground. Additionally, in order to pacify and reassure the multitudes, an official at the Food Corporation of India (FCI) stated, “There is no food shortage. Had there been a shortage, the Government of India would not have issued schemes (Open Market Sale Scheme) of wheat and rice in the market. As on 1st April 2010, the quantity of rice we had was 26.7 million tonnes against the required norm of 14.2 million tonnes and wheat we had around 16.1 million tonnes against the required quantity of 7 million tonnes. So, in total we have around 42.8 million tonnes against the required quantity of 21.2 million tonnes, which clearly is double and hence there shall be no shortage.”
In a dynamic world, where tables turn in a split second, an assurance that our basic needs like food will be met in the coming years is comforting. Basing life around alarming predictions for the decades ahead is only a short-cut to needlessly pile on stress. We advise you to freeze the thoughts about glaciers and chew on more pleasant thoughts, such as that there is ample grub for all!
