South Asia faces a slew of problems that will be further compounded in the foreseeable future, with environmental degradation, over-exploitation of natural resources, deterioration in air and water quality, diminishing forest covers, and exploding population. The most prominent of all the problems, however, would be heating of the region to a temperature that humans cannot withstand.
Erratic seasonal change, sweltering heat, incessant rains, frequent natural calamities are all indicators of global warming, a pressing issue that threatens the very existence of humans in the subcontinent and is hanging like a sword of Damocles over the fate of more than a quarter of the world’s population.
Alarming revelation
As per findings of a study conducted by MIT, vast swathes of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh would become too hot for human habitation by the year 2100. The study has been published in the journal Science Advances, and makes use of the latest computer simulations and best available global models.
Along with these regions, another part where heat will become extremely intolerable is the Persian Gulf. Being an important artery for transportation of crude oil, the days in the region will become more intense, thus becoming all the more difficult to travel.
However, the detrimental impact of heat will be more acute in South Asia. This is because countries in the Persian Gulf are sparsely populated and have good infrastructure facilities, whereas India alone houses more poor than Sub Saharan Africa.
