Globalisation and climate change
In the era of climate change, India is at an energy crossroad
The latest report of U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), by 2,500 scientists from 130 countries, has confirmed that man-made climate change is threatening life on Earth. Temperatures are likely to rise by 1.10 C - 6.40 C by 2100. Sea levels will rise by 18-59 cm by 2100. Arctic ice could disappear in summers by 2100. Global warming would impact 5,018 glaciers in the Himalayas. Pundari Glacier is retreating at 13 metres a year, and the Gangetic glacier; the source of the Ganga is retreating at 30 metres annually. In two decades, Himalayan glaciers will shrink from 500,000 sq.km. to 100,000 sq.km.
