This study attempts to answer the question: If global warming were to increase by 1.5°, 2° and 3°C (compared to the pre-industrial baseline of 1850–1900), at what rate would South Asia be warming? A basis for
Climate change refers to a statistically defined change in the average and/or variability of the climate system, this includes the atmosphere, the water cycle, the land surface, ice and the living components of Earth. The definition does not usually require the causes of change to be attributed...

The adoption of natural climate solutions in crop-lands, such as cover crops, no tillage and residue retention, is widely assumed to provide both climate change mitigation and crop yield benefits. We find important spatially variable trade-offs between these outcomes and demonstrate that safeguarding...
Now it is expecting that much poorer nations, often with worse governance structures, to do better. Not only is this naïve, but it is also protectionist….it’s easy to imagine China and India not improving their energy policies as a result of EU tariffs. They, like the EU, have dome...
Thus, the final computed district-level data comprised the average area under rainfed rice cultivation (in ha) for 519 districts in India (Fig. S1, Appendix A; excluding West Bengal, Tripura and the Island territories of Andaman, Nicobar and Lakshadweep where data were unavailable). These ...
Carleton tested the links between climate change, crop yields and suicide by pairing the numbers for India's reported suicides between 1967 and 2013, using a dataset prepared by the Indian National Crime Records Bureau, along with statistics on India's crop yields, and climate data. To isolate...
abruptness of change and the intensity of effect when change occurs--the onset of the monsoon rains, sudden flooding, rapid erosion, extremes of temperature, tropical storms, and unpredictable fluctuations in rainfall. Broadly speaking, agriculture in India is constantly challenged by weather ...
Many nations that are trying to build their economies — including top polluters China and India — have long argued they needed to industrialize with fossil fuels, like developed nations had already done. Starting in 2009 and then with “a grand bargain” in 2015 in Paris, richer nati...
Climate change causes or exacerbates extreme weather events and ecosystem changes that endanger many people every year. India’s seasonal monsoon showers, for instance, have become more intense in recent years—which scientists attribute to global warming—leading to hundreds of deaths from flash floods...
