GLOBAL WARMING IN INDIA

Climate change has arrived in India 2020 has been natural disasters like corona virus,
cyclone Nisaraga and Amphan ,Locust Attacks ,Floods in India’s Northeast, Heavy rainfall, Landslide
in Kerala . Climate change is the common in these disasters. Let’ see, climate change happening
India and How its impact as, the recent report Assessment of climate change over the Indian region.
The Ministry of earth sciences shows how climate crisis increases and Impact weather pattern
India. This report tells that Global warming extremes like Heavy rainfall. Drought, Heavy cyclone,
etc...Climate change considered to cyclones oceans and seas are becoming warmer cyclones are
becoming more strong and dangerous. Locust attack which faced by many dates of our country its
root is climate change. The world mythological organization said that locust attack in the result of
changing climate conditions. Climate change also gives Global warming. Many states and cities in
India have faced extreme climate. Kerala faced drought in 2020, but, massive floods in 2018 it’s said
to be worst flood in 2019, Kerala first has rainfall deficit and then Floods. Floods in Assam have
become a regular occurrence. Reasons are Global warming, Deforestation, Climate change. India’s
average temperature has risen by around 0.7’C during 1901-2018. This rise in temperature is
largely on account of GHG-induced warming, partially offset by forcing due to anthropogenic
aerosols and changes in LULC. By the end of the twenty –first century 2 , average temperature over
India is projected to rise by approximately 4.4’C relative to the recent past (1976-2005
average3).Descriptions for future forcing scenarios- Projections by climate models of the coupled
model Intercomparison project Phase 5(CMIP5) are based on multiple standardized forcing
scenarios called Representative concentration pathways (RCPs). Each scenario is a time series of
emissions and con-centration’s of the fall suite of GHGs, aerosols and chemically active gases, as
well as LULC changes through the twenty-first century, characterized by the resulting Radioactive
Forcing*bin the year 2100 (IPCC 2013) .
