Question

Write article about global warming and it's harmful effects on India.

Answer 1

Warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere, especially a sustained increase significant enough to cause changes in the global climate. The term global warming is synonymous with an enhanced greenhouse effect, implying an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere, leading to entrapment of more and more solar radiations, and thus increasing the overall temperature of the earth.

Impacts of global warming on climate of India:-

The effect of global warming on the climate of India has led to climate disasters as per some experts. India is a disaster prone area, with the statistics of 27 out of 35 states being disaster prone, with foods being the most frequent disasters. The process of global warming has led to an increase in the frequency and intensity of these climatic disasters.

According to surveys, in the year 2007-2008, India ranked the third highest in the world regarding the number of significant disasters, with 18 such events in one year, resulting in the death of 1103 people due to these catastrophes.

According to the The Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research, if the process of global warming continues to increase, resulting climatic disasters would cause a decrease in India’s GDP to decline by about 9%, with a decrease by 40% of the production of the major crops. A temperature increase of 2° C in India is projected to displace seven million people, with a submersion of the major cities of India like Mumbai and Chennai.

$\textbf{Answer}$:


$\textbf{\underline{Effect Of Global Warming On India}}$

$<b>$
Can you imagine that within 40 years the only glacier that feeds our seven rivers will disappear, causing massive floods, and then dry up, leading to severe drought for our children ?


This may sound a nightmare to some and a distant possibility to others. The reality is that global warming has already resulted in a deficient rainfall across the country, unexpected changes in climate, shrinking of winter season and the rising of average temperature. It is going to hit farming community the hardest. The coastal areas are in danger of tsunami like disasters. The shortage of water and power will affect our industry, too.


What can we do ? It is an important question. We cannot reserve global warming by issuing advertisements, organising seminars and conferences, and engaging in such symbolic acts. Not only the government but the common man also will have to be active to cope with the problems caused by global warming.


We, in India, have to change our lifestyles. Among the immediate and radical steps we can take are : partial ban on the use of private vehicles, cutting down the emission of C$o_{2}$ through afforestation, adopting zero waste system, punishing the polluters, etc.


If we do not wake up even now, the ghost of global warming will turn our Dreamland into a nightmare.
