Source:Indiareport
The risk of climate change in India has been growing in leaps and bounds. Union Forest and Environment Ministry's latest report states that with the impact of fast climate changes, India may have to prepare it to face 1.7to2.2 degree Celsius rise in temperature by the year 2030.
The first report ever by India on sensitive issues like climate change also states that Himalayan region of India will extremely face drought where as other parts of the country will have heavy rains and flood. By 2030, sea level in coastal areas of India will increase by 1.33 mm per annum. Above all, if compared to 1970, temperature and sea level both will increase to a sharp point by 2030.As compared to now, number of cyclones will decrease by 2030, but the intensity and speed of the cyclones will be hugely increased by then. Unlimited emission of green gases will be the main reason behind this.
According to the report of Indian Network for Climate Change Assessment of hundreds of institutions and over 200 scientists, there will be a heavy upheaval in the pattern of rainfall. It will rain like cats and dogs in Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and other Himalayan regions; on the contrary, North-east India will have to cope with low rainfall.
This is not enough. There will be a significant impact of this climate change in India especially on agriculture, water resources, forests, and above all, human health. The nutritious fruit apple from Himalayan region will disappear naturally. Scientists have calculated that in irrigated agriculture, there will an increment in rice production, but this will disturb the production of many other crops including maize. Furthermore, milk production will be also lesser by 2030.
However, some environment analysts recommend that this is just an assessment report and there is nothing to worry too much. They further add that we should consider it as a warning and work upon them to formulate future policies for overcoming the worst impact by 2030.
