In Zeiten, in denen die globale Erwärmung noch keine ausgeprägte Realität war, war der Niederschlagszyklus auf der Erde ausgeglichen. In der heutigen Zeit haben jedoch unregelmäßige Wettermuster, Wetterkapriolen, Wirbelstürme, Waldbrände usw. an Häufigkeit zugenommen, was ein Beweis für den atmosphärischen Verfall in unserer Umwelt ist.
Ich stamme aus Rajkot, einer Industriestadt im westlichen Teil Indiens. Diese Region leidet seit Jahrzehnten unter schweren Wasserkrisen, die ich schon in jungen Jahren am eigenen Leib erfahren habe. Außerdem ist es ein Betondschungel, der eine große Anzahl von Industrieemissionen ausstößt, die dazu geführt haben, dass die jährlichen Niederschläge in jüngster Zeit immer weniger geworden sind. Auch der Grundwasserspiegel nimmt weiter ab.
Ich interpretiere dieses Phänomen der unausgewogenen Niederschläge als eine Schieflage der Räder des Himmelsfahrrads (der Niederschlagszyklen), die der Menschheit in den kommenden Zeiten eine harte Fahrt bescheren wird.
