India’s Carbon Emission Challenge: Summer heat flux can increase 3-4 times! India has a target of 1 billion tons of carbon emissions (ABP Ananda Bengali News) 

May 25, 2022


ABP Ananda Bengali News published an article that global warming is on the rise. People are bothered by the constant rise in temperature. As soon as you are out of the house in the heat of summer, it is as if you are breathing. In this situation, the only question in the minds of the people, when will the relief return? Can we get out of this situation in the coming days? The 2022 Global Food Policy Report says that by 2100, India’s average temperature could rise from 2.4 degrees Celsius to 4.4 degrees Celsius. Summer heatwaves in India are projected to triple or quadruple by 2100. Probably a factor as to why they’re doing so poorly. The article discusses the many solutions such as planting more trees, reducing emissions, and building up the forests.
