Carbon

Carbon, what a wonder
element, it is!
Shining as diamond
and black as dark night.
The backbone of life
Eaten as food
but with emissions rising,
Is the cause of global fight.

Monsoon Delayed

I don’t know

When and how Monsoons get delayed.

But for this, Games

In the Ocean-atmosphere are certainly played.

Model’s prediction

Shows anomaly and much deflection.

Is it a co-incidence

Or just a climate change’s reflection.

Whatever be it

For sure, farmers are going to suffer.

Many suicides

And governments have ex-gratia to offer.

Predictions go wrong

Why not proper messages are relayed.

Whatever the forecast

For sure, monsoons are getting delayed.

The Monsoon Riddle

Predicting monsoon

And the pre-showers.

Computer models

And the observation towers.

Land-ocean

And the ocean dipole.

El-Nino La-Nina

Also play a role.

Pacific warming

And the cooling as well.

Sometimes active

Others the break spell.

Efforts made

Understanding the complexes.

Unpredictability

Is what which perplexes.

Onset dates

And the arrivals are fixed.

With fluctuations

All precision gets nixed.

Unforeseen

Factors just pop in.

Amongst wets

Droughts drop in.

What to say

Of this monsoon riddle.

Wrong it goes

Even when right we did all.

The Mysterious Song of Climate (A Poem)

Climate the great complex sum of
Land-ocean-atmosphere interactions.
Normal it may not sound now,
As it shows many more distractions.

The cold is colder and the hot is hotter,
The season change switch has gone wild.
If so much is so much apparent to everyone,
The change can’t be said to be only mild.

The prediction models are becoming passive,
As the climate is showing its strange, rapid dynamics.
Aerosols do ensure their chemistry pumped in,
And wild winds blow with another kinetics.

Observations, theoretics, modelling and what else,
But still forecasts and predictions go wrong.
The nature shows its ferocious nature,
While the climate is singing its mysterious song.

Nature Rage (A Poem)

It’s the month of Feb of 2012
Snowy cover on Kashmir – the heaven.
Entire West under thick white cover
Strange! Not simple like one, two, ... seven.

December-Jan are getting warmer
Crops affected, the suffering farmer.
Cold wave extending upto March
Snow n too much snow, is not a charmer.

Experts say ‘it’s the Western Disturbances’
And blame La Nina which further enhances.
Better modeling and prediction requires
Countries to pump in much more expanses.

All that jargon which scientists use
Is nothing but only sounds as aliens.
The general masses are unaware
That humanity has to suffer in billions.

Snow and snow, and the avalanches
Frozen lakes, rivers and the tree branches.
Sufferings, pain, death and cries
With the blood of life, the humanity drenches.

Is it climate change or global warming?
Is it the harbinger of an upcoming ice-age?
Whatever! But man’s misdeeds
Certainly have invited what I call ‘Nature-rage’!
