How global warming is affecting India

Climate has changed from cooler to warmer over the last two million years in the recurring manner. A warming planet thus leads to a change in climate which can affect weather in various ways. The Earth is warming because of what humans have been doing to the atmosphere. Global warming and climate change refer to an increase in average global temperatures. Natural events and human activities are believed to be contributing to an increase in average global temperatures. A huge industrial revolution in the modern time has largely impacted the global climate system by increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere. This is caused primarily by increases in "greenhouse" gases such as Carbon Dioxide. Heat trapping nature of the green house gases contributes to the global warming.

Increase in atmospheric temperature causes many climate changes like increase in sea level, flood, drought, weather changes, increase summer season, decrease winter season, melting glaciers, increase death rate, increase number of disease, declining ozone layer and other so many wild and wacky climate changes. Fossil fuels burning release more carbon dioxide which is increasing day by day because of deforestation. Plants are the main source to utilize carbon dioxide as a food however we are disturbing the natural cycle by cutting more plants.

It has also been recorded in the northern hemisphere over the last century that there is decrease in snow cover by 10 percent, decrease in spring and summer sea-ice by 10-15 percent, increases in rainfall and its intensity, huge level change in shifts of ice freezes and breaks up in the rivers and lakes. Thanks to global warming, Indian Ocean might be turning into an ecological desert. Rising temperatures have been recorded to distort the life under water to large extent.

Right now, global warming in India has made it very hot, and some areas are expected to become even hotter over the next several days. As the planet continues to warm due to human-caused global warming, heat waves will become more frequent and more intense, and heat-related deaths will soar unless we take strong measures to adapt. A number of countries and companies have long been worried that the costs of tackling climate change (prevention, mitigation, adaptation, etc) will be prohibitive and would rather deal with the consequences. They often assume the consequences will not be as bad as scientists are predicting. Mindset should not be like this. India has to use leapfrogging and mass adoption of the new technologies of solar energy and battery technology to build a viable go green save green eco-system for future.
