OOOMMMPPHHHHH.....Its Hot

OOMPHHHH….Its hot……

This could very well kick off, boiling the red lava flowing through the vessels or perhaps put on attention every nerve that is otherwise inaccessible and insubordinate to the commands of the brain. Well folks, this is not about Megan Fox or Angelina Jolie or Illeana and not even Kollangudi Karuppayi.

A recent comment I enjoyed, “Hot people, please don’t contribute to global warming”!

Another Ice age is already an overdraft in the Earth bank and we humans are in the process of baking the planet beyond the throttle.

There is a plethora of historic remains of the ancient cities in the peninsular India as well. The archaeological remains at different places along the coastline of the Indian subcontinent are still to be studied with belief and passion. These could still hold the key to know where exactly does the Earth stand. 

The findings at the Gulf of Khambat, Poompuhar or Kaveri Poompattinam , the Ram setu and the legendary Lemuria have all stood the test of times, probably several tests and finally withered away in to the ocean.

The sea levels during the last glacial maxima shrunk and were 130 m lower than the present day sea level. So it is possible that the ancient civilizations located along the coast lines went underneath the water when the sea level rose.

SONAR sensing strategy has been used to confirm the findings at the Gulf of Khambat as indigenous to the gulf itself. Drawing lines between geography and myth, the latitudes coincide with the location of the city Dwaraka, The Kingdom of god, the city by the sea!! The archaeological findings seem to be some kind of precursors for the Vedic civilization. Also it predates the oldest known civilizations by thousands of years. The first one to identify the place was a marine archaeologist named S S Rao. Well the reason for the sunken city has been attributed to earthquakes and fluctuating sea levels.

Findings at Dwaraka

For many years, the people of Poompuhar have spoken of the days when their sleepy fishing town was the capital of a powerful kingdom,the Cholas and traders came from Rome, Greece and Egypt to deal in pearls and silk. Now Poompuhar is a very small fishing town while Kaveripoompattinam was a very big port city and the capital of the Chola kingdom in the south India. Silappdhikaram and Manimegalai talk a great deal about the zenith of this city. The city is now submerged in the Bay of Bengal Sea. It might well be attributed to a Tsunami late in past because the December 26^th Tsunami caused the death of 150 people of poompuhar now. Well nothing is concrete.

The submergence of, whatever you call it as, Ram setu or adams bridge, the atoll, is mostly due to the rise in sea level.  

Kekova: Turkey, Port Royal:Jamaica, Alexandria:Egypt, Tybrind Vig: Denmark are some of the other famous sunken cities around the world. According to UNESCO, submerged settlements have been found in Egypt, India, Jamaica, Argentina, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, and the Black Sea.

The present good climate, many researchers say is a small blip in the long periods of ice age.  The blip could be as long as few thousand years and could also result in formation of the ice age in the near future.  Well the green house gases are averting the ice age in one sense though.

The recent flood in the South India which out the entire south India underwater and caused a great havoc is just a sample of the danger lurking in the dark.

Abstract from msnbc report:

Experts say receding coastlines are a crisis felt around the world. Some examples:

Indonesia's environment minister has predicted that some 2,000 of Indonesia's estimated 18,000 islands would be swallowed by the sea in three decades because of climate change.

Bangladesh, a low-lying country with 145 million people that often is battered by floods, 

tornadoes and cyclones, could see 5 million of its residents displaced if predictions for rising

sea levels are correct, according to its environment secretary.

Low-lying South Pacific countries are asking their islanders to prepare for a complete 

exodus as rising seas threaten to swamp their homes.

The Greek coast is receding by 1.2 meters a year.

The Copenhagen meet must be able to solve the problems regarding the emissions by 

various countries, India and China playing an important part. Though India and China 

failed to abide by the July 10 convention, yet now before the Copenhagen summit, 

China and Brazil have announced to cut the emissions by 40% while Indonesia by 26% 

and India by 20-25 %.
Jairam Ramesh, minister of environment and forest delineated the plans of planning commission to 
achieve the  goal thus,”
1. Mandatory fuel efficiency standards for all vehicles by December 2011;
2. A building code that encouraged energy conservation, with a recommendation to local Governments to
    make this mandatory;
3. Amendments to various laws to reduce energy intensity of industrial activities;
4. Regular monitoring of the state of the forests, which now absorbed about 10 per cent of India's greenhouse
    gas emissions; and
5. Half of the new coal based power plants coming up to use clean coal technologies - super critical, 
    ultra super critical and coal gasification.

Although the effort is appreciable, yet the implementation of the plans is the tough part 

as long as a country like India is concerned. It is in the hands of every individual to be

wise on what must be done for the greater good.
Well, December 4^th : no snow in Ohio but snow causes travel trouble in Houston…!!!

Doesn’t that ring a bell?
