Nepal Earthquakes And Global Warming

One
of the most significant features of contemporary Homo sapiens is that
they wake up after the mishappening has taken place. They take no
proactive measures on the issues of the natural disasters.
Earthquakes in Nepal-India are its glaring illustration where Homo
sapiens has failed to exhibit its intelligence.
After
deaths of more than two thousands everyone talks about the disasters,
mainly politicians. They boast of their achievements in providing
assistance in rescue operations, that is wonderful jobs done but the
real issue still remains out of their thought process, at the global
level leaders still pay no heed to real issues.
The
issue is Global Warming.
Is
there any link between the under earth activities and global warming?
It
now appears that there exists a clear relationship between the global
warming and earthquakes and other under earth activities.
When
the permafrost dissolves as has happened in Arctic and associated
areas due to the increased global temperature, it is quite likely
that the under located areas of the earth are affected due to
alteration in the pressure on the earth crust.
It
is likely that the three parts of the earth, atmosphere, water and
inside earth core and mantle. When the water level on the seas and
oceans increase due to the increased waster quantity caused by the
global warming, impact on the inside zones of earth can cause many
tremors.
This
aspect has not been studied yet in comprehensive manner. This can be
linked to the issues of big dams construction in the mountainous
areas, many experts had opposed their construction on the ground that
accumulated water in one specific region will cause the earthquakes.
This
fear is not unfounded, as the there is increased water quantity in
the oceans, and inside earth zones experience increased pressures.
There
is atoner link to this natural disasters. In Chile suddenly the
Calbuco volcano has erupted. Is there an y relation between these two
events? On the surface there will emerge no relationship because both
natural challenges emerge in two different parts of the earth. They
have different nature in terms of geographical phenomenon. But one
thing is common in both that both are underground abnormal earth’s
activities. This also requires a deep investigation, whether any
change in the pressure on the earth’s crust or inside deep areas
have any adverse impact on the development of these natural
disasters.
Global
warming has many aspects but one aspect which requires a deep study
is related to its capacity to change the pressure attribute of the
earth sphere. These pressure changes have impact on the pressure
belts in the atmosphere; these have impact on the ocean water and
subsequent impact on the inside area of the earth.
Hence
to study these disasters which are sudden and highly disastrous, we
need to develop a new climate model in which the impact of the global
warming and climate change has to be allocated importance. So far the
studies on earthquakes have been based on the tectonic plates
movement. This study approach now requires a change. It needs to be
made more interdisciplinary and intra disciplinary.
In
this respect the role of the contemporary political elites also need
to be studied. They are not proactive. Their approach to salve human
beings from these problems is not proactive. Sustainable development
is talked about but in reality there is violation of this principle.
Developed countries have narrow in vision on these issues, mainly on
the climate changes, its major impact is received by the developing
and least developed countries. Paris talks are on the anvil where two
issues need to be taken up besides either pressing issues; primarily
the pro activism on the global issues mainly sustainable development
should be focused; secondarily to discuss the link between the
climate change-global warming on the earthquakes like under earth
phenomenon.
