State of the climate in Asia 2023
Asia remained the world’s most disaster-hit region from weather, climate and water-related hazards in 2023. Floods and storms caused the highest number of reported casualties and economic losses, whilst

Population decline and a shift in the geographical distribution of some ectothermic animals have been attributed to climatic warming. Here, we show that rises in water temperature of a few degrees, while within the thermal window for locomotor performance, may be detrimental to diving behaviour in air-breathing ectotherms (turtles, crocodilians, marine iguanas, amphibians, snakes and lizards).
Guwahati: Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Chief RK Pachauri on Monday called upon Assam and rest of the North East to carry out climate modelling studies to know the impact of climate change.
Although preliminary estimates from published literature and expert surveys suggest striking agreement among climate scientists on the tenets of anthropogenic climate change (ACC), the American public expresses substantial doubt about both the anthropogenic cause and the level of scientific agreement underpinning ACC.

An international expert consultation on climate change impact on Cryosphere of the Indus Basin and its implications on future water scenario has begun here at headquarter of International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in Nepali capital Kathmandu on Friday.
Absorbing aerosols affect global-mean precipitation primarily in two ways. They give rise to stronger shortwave atmospheric heating, which acts to suppress precipitation. Depending on the top-of-the-atmosphere radiative flux change, they can also warm up the surface with a tendency to increase precipitation.
<p>These District Human Development Reports of Parganas (N), 24-Parganas (S) & North Dinajpur released recently present key developmental challenges of the region. Also warn that Sunderbans is highly vulnerable to climate change & 15 percent of the region will be submerged by 2020.<br /><br />http://wbplan.gov.in/HumanDev/DHDR.htm<br /><br /><br />See Also<br />
Lessons on the risks and opportunities of climate change should be directed at future executives, given that many companies rival nations in greenhouse-gas emissions, says Genevieve Patenaude.
