Climate Change Effects in India

Climate change is causing significant temperature rises in India, primarily due to urbanization and human activities. The Indian Ocean is warming at an alarming rate, potentially increasing by 1.7-3.8 degrees Celsius by 2100 unless greenhouse gas emissions are curtailed. Additionally, the Himalayas are experiencing rapid glacier melt, contributing to rising sea levels and altered rainfall patterns, leading to extreme weather conditions.

The impact of climate change in

India
Temperature rise over India
● This mostly occurs due to human activities,
buildings, and infrastructure in urban areas
that absorb and retain heat more effectively
than natural landscapes.
● It is worth noting that rising temperatures are
not limited to India, and the conditions are
getting worse all over the world.
Indian ocean warming
● The Indian Ocean is experiencing
unprecedented and accelerated warming,
which may continue throughout the century
unless greenhouse gases are reduced
immediately. A new study published in journal
Science Direct has predicted that between
2020 and 2100, the Indian Ocean could warm
at a rate of 1.7-3.8 degrees Celsius per
century.

Effects
Effect on Himalayas
●

The rise in average surface temperatures


in the Himalayas has exceeded 1.6°C and
is causing the Himalayan glaciers to melt
rapidly, which are then retreating at an
accelerating rate (see 'Himalayan
meltdown'). The ice-melt from the glaciers
is forming glacial lakes across the
Himalayan range.
There are several other effects of climate change
in India. For example -rising of sea level and
change in rainfall. these changes will make
extreme situations.
