Motherlode of all disasters...


The bygone paras makes clear the fact that India is amongst the worst performers when it comes to environmental protection and reducing human vulnerability due to environmental hazards. India is one of the world’s top 10 CO2 emitters, contributing to 4.23% of world’s CO2 emission. India is solely dependent on agriculture and agriculture in India is totally dependent on monsoon rain. During summer it is the south-westerly winds and in winter it is the westerly winds that bring rainfall. However, scientists believe that westerly winds have already been disrupted. Research shows that 60% of India’s arable land is already affected by soil erosion. Though India has a substantial area of forest land, half of this is concentrated in Madhya Pradesh and seven North-Eastern states which are also currently experiencing rapid forest area coverage loss. Studies forecast that global warming will have severe impact on countries like India. The Indian Agricultural Research Institute has warned that an increase in temperature by just 3 degree centigrade will cause 15-20% decline in wheat production. Moreover, such a temperature increase will lead to wiping out of the Himalayan glaciers, thereby posing a big threat to rivers like Indus, Ganges et al.

All in all, India doesn’t have concrete policy for environment protection but o\we are finally showing some interest on the issue, and though he has formed one panel comprising scientists, politicians, business tycoons and bureaucrats, they are yet to meet up. Really, we need to save India to save Indians... and we’re not joking!
