Inaccuracies in the Inconvenient Truth - TAT for TIT

Posted 17th October 2009 at 02:02 AM by Dr. L. Ramakrishnan
Updated 18th October 2009 at 11:36 PM by Dr. L. Ramakrishnan
I just came across this information on the inacccuracies in the acclaimed documentary "The Inconvenient Truth" (TIT) by Al Gore. No doubt, Al Gore raised mass awareness on Climate Change issues through this documentary. Al Gore deserves our admiration for the strong commitment he has for this common cause. No doubt, Climate Change is a Global issue.

A British Judge hearing a case on the documentary came out with the following eleven inaccuracies:

1.The...

All budding and serious scientists believe that their work is of Nobel Prize quality. Now Dr. C.V. Ramakrishnan got the Nobel prize in Chemistry with two others, his dreams would have come true. Congratulations Dr. Ramakrishnan for this honour!!

I wish I had worked like you as a scientist towards this coveted goal.....but for me that was only a dream..being a mediocre scientist (of course, with a Gold Medal for the best Ph.D. thesis from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore,...

Ten Commandments of Sustainability

Posted 20th August 2009 at 02:02 AM by Dr. L. Ramakrishnan
In an interesting discussion in another forum I tried to bring out the essentials of Sustainability as I understand it. The Question asked was "what are the ten commandments of Sustainability". My answer was:

Sustainability covers a wider ranger of subjects than just environment; hence my ten commandments (not necessarily in order of priority) would be:

1. Work within the carrying capacity of the ecosystem in which you live and help to maintain the ecosystem...

Swine Flu....H1N1.... teaches us a lesson

Posted 12th August 2009 at 01:01 AM by Dr. L. Ramakrishnan
Updated 12th August 2009 at 01:14 AM by Dr. L. Ramakrishnan (Additional information)
I am writing this post from the "epicentre" (as the TV anchor describes) of Swine Flu in India, Pune. Ever since the first death (a school girl) due to H1N1 virus was reported from Pune, there has been an increase in the number of cases tested positive for H1N1 virus as well as the number of deaths in Pune (the 11th death in India was announced last night from Pune). The TV anchors have a "lead news" and fill their time with reports on H1N1 from all over India; they appear...

Posted 4th June 2009 at 10:30 PM by Dr. L. Ramakrishnan
Updated 5th June 2009 at 04:22 AM by Dr. L. Ramakrishnan

As for me, I have started working from home from February, 2009. The result: 80 % reduction in my petrol consumption. I have not calculated the reduction in my carbon footprint. My home energy bill has come down tremendously (now...
