Answers
-The ongoing climate change in all parts of the planet has affected all aspects of both our life and the biodiversity around us, increasing the concern for the planet’s future.
--The various causes for concern are:
1. From micro-organisms like bacteria to top predators like lions, nearly 45 per cent of species grew smaller over multiple generations due to rising temperature
2. Mammals such as squirrels and wood rats in Western Ghats have decreased in number due to increasing temperature.
3. The migration pattern of fishes has been affected due to lack of harmony in whole ecosystem due to new conditions developed by climate change.
4. For plants, the nutrition content in crops has decreased. Shrinkage of sizes of plants has been witnessed in vegetables and tree farms
5. The phytoplanktons and coral reefs are also suffering due to rising temperatures, endangering the whole food chain in water bodies
6. The increasing temperatures and erratic monsoon rains will also affect the crop cycles
--Due to such a scenario, the socio economic life of citizens is also set to be affected, specially for the people who are engaged in primary activities.
--The only measure we can opt for in near future, is the adaptation to such incidents by ensuring a buffer stock of grains to guarantee food security. Also, for long term, India should advance its reach in renewable technology and decrease dependence on carbon emitting fossil fuels, which can ensure a safer future for the next generation.
