The author of a well-known report on global warming stated that India is at risk of experiencing more severe consequences of climate change compared to other countries. These consequences include poor agricultural output, an increase in natural disasters, and a rise in deaths due to a higher occurrence of diseases. According to former World Bank chief economist Nicholas Stern, if greenhouse gas emissions are not controlled, global temperatures could increase by 2-3 degrees centigrade in the next 50 years. Stern warned Indian businessmen that the annual June-September monsoon rains, which are crucial for crop production in India, could have a significant impact on the economy. He also highlighted potential changes in the monsoon patterns, such as varying starting dates, increased intensity, and extended periods without rain. He stated that there is a high probability of disruption. It is evident that India will experience similar consequences as the rest of the world, and maybe even more severe. Experts predict that a temperature increase of 2 to 3.5 degrees Celsius could result in India losing between nine and 25 percent of its total agricultural revenue. Agriculture accounts for approximately 22 percent of India's gross domestic product. Additionally, rising temperatures could lead to the spread of vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever to higher altitude areas that are typically mosquito-free. The head of Britain's Economic Service warned that the melting of Himalayan glaciers could lead to increased deaths, lower productivity, serious floods in Bangladesh, mass migration into India, reduced water flow during India's dry season, and other serious consequences. Experts believe that melting glaciers will impact a significant portion of the world's population, particularly in the Indian subcontinent, where the Ganga river supports over 500 million people by receiving 70 percent of its summer water flow from the Himalayan glaciers. Stern mentioned that India was improving in addressing emissions challenges and investing in clean development mechanisms. He emphasized that climate change is unfair, with wealthy nations needing to take on more responsibility. He explained that rich countries are accountable for 75 percent of greenhouse gases, yet it is the poor countries that will suffer the most. Stern stressed that all countries should participate, but fairness dictates that wealthy nations bear the majority of the financial burden.
