The original application was registered suo-motu on the basis of the news item titled …
Proper soil conservation techniques such as avoiding plowing and leaving crop residue on the ground can help keep more of the carbon in the soil. Even the dirt on the ground is making climate change worse, a new study finds. Plants capture massive amounts of carbon, pumping it into the …
Deaths caused by severe heatwaves will increase dramatically by 2080, particularly in countries located near the equator such as India, if we fail to counter climate change, a global study has found. The study, published in the journal PLOS Medicine, is the first to predict future heatwave-related deaths and aims …
Despite heavy periodic downpour, North Eastern states including Meghalaya have received inadequate rainfall this season all because of climate change. According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the eastern and north-eastern regions have together received 31 per cent less rainfall than normal in this south-west monsoon (SWM) season as on …
For 75-year-old Tsering Angdo, today’s Ladakh is entirely different from the world of his childhood in the cold Himalayan desert. Back then, he and everyone he knew would take water supply for granted. Ladakh was never short of water, considering the limited needs of a small population. That is now …
The heatwave gripping large stretches of Europe has already been blamed for deadly forest fires and crop failures. Now freshwater fish could be its next victims. Some regions in Germany sweltered as the mercury hit 39 C (102 F) and the German Meteorological Office said the country's all-time record of …
This paper presents future climate and runoff projections for the South Asia region under the RCP8.5 scenario with climate change informed by 42 CMIP5 GCMs. Runoff is projected for 0.5° grids using hydrological models with future climate inputs obtained by empirically scaling the historical climate series.

To provide a picture of hydrological impact of climate change across different climatic zones in Europe, this study considers eight river basins: Tagus in Iberian Peninsula; Emån and Lule in Scandinavia; Rhine, Danube and Teteriv in Central and Eastern Europe; Tay on the island of Great Britain and Northern Dvina …
Deadly heatwaves could kill people working outdoors within hours in China's most populous, agricultural region by 2100 as a result of climate change, scientists said on Tuesday. The North China Plain, home to 400 million people, faces the greatest risk to human life from rising temperatures of any location on …
The study has brought out clearly that farmers perceive that climate is changing in terms of onset and withdrawal of monsoon, changes in the distribution of rainfall and rising temperatures. Such a perception of farmers on one hand indicates what the adaptation interventions should aim at and on the other …
The effects of climate change mean the world can expect higher temperatures and more frequent heat waves, climate experts have warned, with poor communities likely to be worst affected. Heat is neglected because it is both an invisible and hard-to-document disaster that claims lives largely behind closed doors, they said, …
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are predicted to be sensitive to the increased temperature and altered precipitation associated with climate change. We assessed the effects of these factors on soil carbon dioxide (CO2) balance in biocrusted soils using a sequence of manipulations over a 9-year period. We warmed biocrusted soils by …
Dinesh de Alwis has lived all his life in Ratmalana, a suburb of Sri Lanka's capital Colombo. When he was young, he remembers, he would rush outside every day at 4 p.m., to play with friends after school. "Now if you send the kids out at four, they would faint …
Human-induced environmental and climate change are widely blamed for causing rapid global biodiversity loss, but direct estimation of the proportion of biodiversity lost at local or regional scales are still infrequent. This prevents us from quantifying the main and interactive effects of anthropogenic environmental and climate change on species loss. …
TOKYO, Japan - Dealing with a very real impact of climate change, the Asian continent has been experiencing weather extremities over the last two months that has caused widespread death and devastation in multiple countries. Extreme weather conditions hammering parts of Asia, have left the region grappling with death and …
Rising global temperatures caused by human activity are making the heatwaves gripping the northern hemisphere more likely, scientists warn. Extreme heat has been seen in the northern hemisphere, with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees in the Arctic circle, a deadly heatwave in Japan being declared a natural disaster and heatwaves in …
NEW DELHI: A scientific study commissioned by the government to assess the impact of climate change has projected reduction in crop yields for irrigated maize, wheat and rain-fed rice, Rajya Sabha was informed on Monday. The study has also found that malaria has spread to new areas and its transmission …
Rising temperatures are linked to increasing rates of suicide, according to a large new study. The researchers warn that the impact of climate change on suicides may be as significant as economic recessions, which are known to increase rates of self-harm. The links between mental health and global warming have …
Fish are losing their sense of smell as rising carbon emissions turn the water they live in to acid. A new study has revealed that as levels of carbonic acid in seawater rise, sea bass lose up to half their smelling capacity. Surges in atmospheric carbon dioxide increase ocean acidity …
The Great Barrier Reef has become a notorious victim of climate change. But it is not the only Australian ecosystem on the brink of collapse Our research, recently published in Nature Climate Change, describes a series of sudden and catastrophic ecosystem shifts that have occurred recently across Australia. These changes, …
In January, New York City sued 5 major oil companies, claiming their business activities and aggressive climate denial tactics would cost the city billions of dollars in infrastructure expenses to protect its citizens from the effects of climate change. On July 20, federal judge John Keenan granted the motions to …
