Just one of many out there...if you look!

There is NOT evidence to state that global warming is caused by humans or industrialized nations. Period.

Good article.

For those that like to criticise India and its traditions for a lack of feminism, (usually in terms of 'calling the kettle black,' in order to be dismissive when a woman from India speaks up,) well, I'm just wanting to say, "Listen."

This is where a lot of 'the good stuff' is coming from, in terms of 'what to do about the world,'

So, I say, 'Listen up.'

Professor Narayanan, I hope that all is well in your area of Florida. I know that you have had some tornados down there recently and I pray all is recovering nicely. They do not give the warnings that Hurricaines do, and they can be quite devastating. Hopefully our Government Agencies are doing something, anything to help with the relief efforts. Your writings are harmonious at the highest of levels, and you are on target. Thank you for sharing. In a similar singularity, I related our Earth System, which is normally thought of as Mother Earth, to a modern song by Maze which was intended to relate for the listener how the male ego attempts to endure in these United States. Nobody Knows What you Feel Inside, by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly
You know how you heal
What you heal is real
Nobody knows how you heal inside
Man pleases his own desires
Just keeps on playing with fires
Nobody knows how you heal inside
Cycles you go through
No one knows like you
Man's mind is slow and all the mouths need feeding
Things ain't going right
Man, you stay so uptight
You're the One and man is supposed to be leading.
If you could only tell
Mankind seems destined towards hell
Nobody can get on the right side
And they will never know
Things within you won't show
Nobody knows how you heal inside.

What do you think? Does Love reside in both the male and female spirit. Yes, in equal amounts I think. God Bless you and yours. May you find all that you seek and all that is incidental to the wise application of said Truth and Beauty. amen. Thank you.

anonymous, It's a no brainer, the problem is population. India has a problem? What they have we will also have unsless reproduction is given some criteria other than marriage is between one man and one woman because God says so.

Some of the other panelists say that Christians have some special responsibility to the environment and the earth. This writer says Hindus do.

The fact is that all have polluted, regardless of religion. There was a series of stories in The NYT (are we allowed to mention that paper in WaPo?) about the horrific problems with water supply in India. The Yamuna river coming into New Delhi is pristine -- I don't remember the exact numbers but they draw of something like 290 million gallons of water a day at the entrance point and substitute about 95 million gallons of sewage on the departure end. Downstream cities and towns have to spend extra to clean the water to make it potable.

For a little light hearted look, see The President's Secret Message On Global Warming at http://breakfastwithbwana.blogspot.com including a sign from God.

A very well thought out essay. Wether or not global warming is caused by humans, the fact is that we need to take better care of our common home. And that is something everyone has a role in...

Professor:

Congratulations. Your group is not a party to the hoax. However, Hindus seems to me to be hamstrung with the treating of women as a comodity for men who feel the need to make babies.

Population is surely a problem in both of the two most populous countries on earth, India and China. The Chinese are trying to do something about their problem. I understand that the enlightened of India such as yourself are in favor of that as well. Good luck with your efforts.

Maybe this will help with those who don't seem to understand that uncontrolled human reproduction can only lead to disaster, hoping it's not too late. Perhaps the divinity students could try a little math, make a calculation or two?

At the present rate of increase there will be 16 billion people on earth by the year 2050 and 32 billion by the year 2100.

Questions for divinity students: How many trees must be harvested so that everyone can have 1 totthpick? How many cows, (understanding that some Indians don't eat cows yet) must be slaughtered so everyone can have 1 hamburger?

Perhaps you could help point out to the three great faiths of which Hindus are not a part that their foundation has crumbled beneath them. The Bible is proved beyond a reasonable shadow of a doubt to be a hoax. Maybe that will help them call off the "no sex without pregnancy" dogs.

In case you didn't already know, http://www.hoax-buster.org has the proof the Bible is bogus. Every little bit helps with the struggle for survival of the people of earth.

A recent (scientific) report suggests that trees may not be a viable solution to counter global warming when trees themselves contribute to gas emission. I have a bad feeling about this when the integrity of such findings is questionable, but a stubborn truth remains that areas lacking in trees are rife with erosion including landslides and flooding. Maybe such researches are funded by timber companies I don't know, but if the stuff raining down are absorbed from what is released from industrial wastes, then the trees are hardly the cause.

And yes I totally agree that Christians have a moral responsibility by practice of preservation the means of sustaining life.
