This is not about juvenile level politics, but about something everybody seems to forget from high/junior school classes. Or maybe only one from Serbia learns about Dr Milutin Milanković (often anglicised as Milutin Milankovitch; May 28, 1879 – December 12, 1958), a Serbian mathematician, astronomer, climatologist, geophysicist, civil engineer and populariser of science.

Nature is constantly changing, along with weather cycles, and the two poles would reverse again. The Magnetic North Pole is moving towards Russia at an accelerating rate! The question arises here: What would be the impact of poles reverse on weather pattern?

“At this time, there are not any credible mechanisms that could make it a possibility,” said Gavin Schmidt, a Climatologist and Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York. He added: “It is not that we are ruling out magnetic effects on climate without thinking about it, we collectively have thought about it, and it has been found wanting.”

Although such a claim has failed to impress many, there is a huge possibility. These people were also 100% sure in many other things, but proven wrong. Hence, they are not even cent percent sure, this time.

Then, what about claims made by Greens (who may be considered as a bunch of uneducated bozos) and Climate activists (considered by some as a group gathered on task of creating money out of thin air and plenty of pseudo-science) that if one does not go back to 17th Century technology, like ships with sails, sun water heating, etc., we are all doomed?

Ice Age cycles are primarily driven by periodic changes in the Earth’s orbit. Three distinct orbital cycles – called Milankovitch cycles after their discoverer Dr Milankovitch – explain the changing distribution of incoming solar energy in various ways that can dramatically affect the Earth’s climate.

These Ice Ages are punctuated by Interglacial Periods when temperatures rise to around current levels. The most recent Ice Age occurred between 120,000 and 11,500 years ago, while the current Interglacial Period – the Holocene – is expected to last for additional tens of thousands of years (and human activity may inadvertently delay the beginning of the next Ice Age even further).

Basically, climate WILL change and one cannot do anything about it, except maybe prolong it. And with the green agenda and renewable energy, the global community is basically trying to keep the cycles unchanged and on time, waiting for a new Ice Age to come, which is inevitable.

So next time, one should ask her/his Green friends why they support electric cars when human civilisation needs at least 100 more years to achieve power levels from renewables that would generate enough energy for everyone at any time, just like fossil fuels are doing at the moment. Also, at this point of time (and at least for next couple of decades), electric cars can be considered dirty than those which are powered on fossil fuels because Lithium destroys nature, and one drives on electricity generated through fossil fuels. How is that Green? And why not hydrogen cars? Hydrogen cars are 100% more green than electric cars… Unfortunately, this is not a priority for the Greens!

One has to ask the Climate activists: What we actually try to accomplish even after knowing that climate WILL change, and we cannot do anything about it?

Koushik Das (born on May 16, 1976 in Kolkata) is a career journalist. Based in the Indian capital of New Delhi, Koushik writes mainly about foreign policies and current geopolitical issues, and rarely about other topics. His own political ideas are highly influenced by Antonio Gramsci, Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault, Michael Oakeshott and others. English philosopher and political theorist Oakeshott (Dec 11, 1901-Dec 19, 1990) says that “in political activity, men sail a boundless and bottomless sea. There is neither harbour for shelter nor floor for anchorage, neither starting-place, nor appointed destination. But we have to keep afloat”. (Rationalism in Politics, 1962) As a student of Political Science, Koushik loves to share his views on issues, which have great impacts on his thought process (and also on India, South Asia and of course on the global community), with his readers through his website – Boundless Ocean of Politics. By doing so, he tries to keep himself afloat. You will find some of his articles in https://inserbia.info/today/ (https://inserbia.info/today/author/kou_das13_i/), as he has been trying to assess the global geopolitics since 2003.
