CRIER, an independent
economic policy think tank founded in 1981 with our Prime Minister, ManMohan
Singh as one of its co-founders. Last month, ICRER published a document under
their policy series entitled “Impact of Climate Agriculture & Food Security”.
ICRIER invited reactions
from the public for this research paper authored by Anna Ranuzzi and S Richa,
researchers with NGO, Gene Campaign.
On one hand, our post
critiques the ICRIER-GC paper and on the other hand we offer an alternative
theory to climate change. If the axiom of any paper can be demolished using
scientific evidence, the whole edifice of the paper crumbles down. This would
make the solutions recommended by the ICRIER-GC paper practically meaningless.
That in short would be the primary objective of this critique, structured into
5 sections as follows:
1. Continued re-positioning
signals a total retreat of AGW Theory
2. Given the performance
record of AGW computer modelling, why should their warnings be taken seriously?
3. How has climate changed
in the past and what can we learn from them in terms of its impact on
agriculture?
4. What is the basis for
predicting future climate?
5. What is in store for us
the next 25-30 years in terms of climate change? Which strategic direction
should agriculture adapt?
Any reactions to this
critique are welcome and we would be pleased to publish any rebuttals in our
blog.
