In future, India will face the heat
November 10, 2008
If India makes no efforts to cap its current emissions of greenhouse gases, then the country could face a temperature increase of four degrees Celsius by 2100, according to Kankicharla Krishna Kumar, head of the new climate change research centre at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology.
But there will be no matching increase in monsoon rainfall until 2040, Kumar added.
Krishna Kumar's warning is based on projections by regional climate change models developed at IITM.
