India to get Warmer by 2 Degree Celsius by 2030: Scientist of IISc and IIT

Scientist of Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai together made a Projection that India may warm up by 1.7 ° to 2 ° C by 2030s and up to 4.8 degree Celsius by 2080s.

The Scientist had pointed out more warming over the northern areas, especially the Himalayas and Kashmir.

The projections were made for the period of 1860 to 2099 which is based on new climate data, models and new emission scenarios termed as Representative concentration pathways.

Also as per the scientist Rainfall is predicted to increase from four per cent to five per cent by 2030s and from six per cent to 14 per cent towards the end of the century in 2080s compared to the 1961- 1990 baseline.

All these new projections should be used in future assessment of impact of climate change and adaptation planning.

However, also contradicting analysis was presented which has indicated that limiting warming to roughly 2 ° C by the end of this century is unlikely since it requires an immediate ramp down of emissions.
