A UN report warns that rising sea levels could severely affect Kolkata and Mumbai, with more than 14 million people in low-lying South Asian deltas at immediate risk of losing their homes to permanent inundation.
Jayanta Basu Seismic activity might have played a critical role in the unfolding of the major flash flood that struck Nepal’s Rasuwa district on August 26 morning killing over 900 so far. An expert has pointed out the possible climate linkage to the development, referring to an UN-led paper that is in pre-publication stage. The.
Nepal has proven its resilience in coping with earlier disasters as the country stepped up search and rescue operations after a sudden deluge this week, facing uncertainty over an economy that depends largely on tourism, where the majestic mountains – facing climate change and local disturbances – themselves loom as threat. The surging waters washed.
Rooftop installations and electric vehicles in driveways are seen as the icons of climate change resistance. However, what is not in the glossy symbols is an unwelcome fact: this ‘green revolution’ is currently being achieved largely by the wealthier, and at the expense of the poor.

Rapid expansion of solar farms in China is linked to a reduction in bird diversity as cropland and grassland are cleared for development, a new report has said, calling the trend a green dilemma that pits carbon reduction against conservation. Both resident and migratory bird species showed significant declines in areas of rapid solar development,.
Is climate change giving rise to a stunted generation? The impacts of climate change are unfolding rapidly—mostly endured as catastrophic disasters and a new temperature regime that we did not evolve with. But it is no longer the story per se; it has become the context in which our living experiences are being redefined. A.
Researchers in Australia have used more than 30 years of data to develop a new framework to more accurately measure the impact of climate change-induced events on the Great Barrier Reef. The framework quantifies reef degradation over time and provides other researchers a “health check” tool to assess reef health. It can be used to.
Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Nino, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared with just under 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015. According to the study published.
As the West swelters amid severe heatwaves, several media reports have lately been debating the use of air-conditioners (ACs) which was once not really a necessary item to be added in a household, especially in Europe. India, meanwhile, “is quickly adding AC units” with an additional “some 50m between 2019 and 2024, or half of.
