What the New Govt Report Says About ‘India’s Climate Change’ This Century -Kabir Agarwal

-TheWire.in

New Delhi: India just got its first comprehensive climate change assessment report and it doesn’t make for happy reading.

The average surface air temperature in the country is expected to rise by 4.4º C by the end of the century if little is done to curb global carbon dioxide emissions. Even if emissions do fall – moderately – in the next few decades, temperatures in India could still rise by an average of 2.4º C between 2070 and 2099, according to the text.

The report is entitled ‘Assessment of Climate Change over the Indian Region’. It was released by the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) on Tuesday, June 16.

The warming is and will be gradual. In the high emissions ‘pathway’, the report says, the land surface temperature over India could rise by an average of 2.7º C in the next 50 years, until 2069. In the moderate emissions ‘pathway’, temperature could rise by 2º C on average in the same period.
