The sharp rise in temperature means that India will have to face unprecedented heat and heat for a longer period of time. Due to this there will be irreparable loss to agriculture and wildlife to life. Avinash Chanchal, campaign manager, Greenpeace India, says heatwave is fatal to public health and the economy. Strong hot winds also endanger ecosystems.
According to the Sixth Assessment Report of the
Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), if the emissions of
carbon-di-oxide and greenhouse gases are not controlled in time, it will double
by 2050. Global warming will increase, due to which rising sea level will
increase the risk of drowning of coastal cities, on the other hand-hot air will
rain in plains cities.
Greenpeace India has forecast heat wave conditions and rising temperatures in the country, which will increase the Delhi-Mumbai average annual temperature by five degrees over the next six decades. Delhi's June maximum temperature averaged 41.93 degrees Celsius in the period 1995 to 2014, which will increase to 45.97 degrees Celsius in the period 2080 to 99, which may go up to 48.19 degrees Celsius. Mumbai's average annual temperature will increase by five notches to 43.35 degrees Celsius from 39.17 degrees Celsius for the 1995-2014 period.

Trouble will increase in plain cities
In comparison to coastal cities, plains cities are more
prone to heat wave due to higher temperatures. Cities like Delhi, Lucknow,
Patna, Jaipur and Kolkata will be seriously affected by this in the coming
days. The weaker section living in these cities will face the most frightening
side of this crisis. The risk will be higher for the urban poor, outside
workers, women, children and senior citizens.

move forward
Avinash Chanchal says that it is a matter of great regret
that despite the sufficient scientific evidence that such extreme weather
events are directly related to climate change, the required action is not being
taken to prevent global warming and climate change all over the world, which is
increasing the risk.
