Post subject: Climate changes- Facts or Fluff ?		Reply with quote
The recent long-term study by team of experts from UK-India on the effects of climatic change in India, predicts some significant weather changes for this sub-continent. Model simulations reveal that by end of 2100 there will be significant increase in both rainfall as well as sunshine across India. The most notable finding is 10-30% more rainfall for central India and a raise of 3-4 degree C for others part of India. The experts finally warn that it will have some serious negative effects on the food-grain production.

When it comes to river basins, the Godavari and Krishna basin are expected to have higher precipitation than other river basins. This means more flooding. Also the extremes of weather will be more intense across India. This means more drought. There is also prediction for more cyclones and more precipitation along the east coast. As we oscillate between flooding and droughts, we have more difficult task of managing our water resources.

What do you think about the report? What does it mean for our state and for you? Do you agree with this stuff and expect our planners to take this account. Do you think it is better for our state? Or is it all fluff, and between now and then, lot of things can happen that nobody can predict this?

Here is some graphic picture that shows the effects of global warming on India. This from UN and quite different from above uk-india research . But the overall essence is same. More rain for some and less rain for others.

Another alarming environmental effect on India’s rice producing capability. Again this cannot be verified how much of it is fact or fluff. Some of this could be psy-ops to force India to agree to Kyoto protocol.

Check this out. Cloud over India's rice crop growth

Quote:
Since the mid-1980s, the stubborn brown cloud of pollution that shrouds much of India, coupled with increased concentrations of greenhouse gases, together have limited both the yields and extent of rice farms in the nine States that account for most of the country's wet-season harvest, University of California researchers report in a study.

Had both forms of pollution been cut, India's rice harvest across those States would have increased more than 14 per cent between 1985 and 1998, they report. That could have helped restore the rate of growth to that seen in the 1960s and 1970s, in the immediate wake of the Green Revolution that allowed India to become self-sufficient in rice production.
