Opinion | Climate Change-A Threat To India’s Snow Capped Mountains and Kashmir.

India’s average Temperature has risen by around 0.7 Degree (MOES 2020).

The Ministry of Earth Sciences (MOES) has recently published a climate change report titled “Climate Change Assessment in the Indian Region.” This report covers regional climate change across India. It also includes climate extremes.
The report was led by the Pune-Based Center for Climate Change Research (CCCR) of the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM). The report is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of human-induced global climate change related to regional weather and the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayas bordering the Indian Ocean.
The report documents, based on available climate records, that surface air pressure over India has increased by about 0.7 degrees Celsius during 1901-2018, leading to an increase in atmospheric moisture content in the orbital Indian Ocean. Sea surface temperatures also increased by 1 degree Celsius between 1951-2015. There are clear signs of anthropogenic climate changes that have led to the formation of GSC anthropogenic information and particle plumes in the Indian region. Due to the complex conditions affecting the elements of the Earth system, between the warming atmosphere and regional human impacts, there have been locally very heavy rainfalls in the last few decades. Events such as droughts and floods have increased and the intensity of tropical cyclones has also increased. Regional weather operations for the future launched under different climate change scenarios have also increased over the Indian subcontinent and adjacent regions (e.g. There are signs of widespread changes in land temperature and other climatic effects, such as monsoons, Indian Ocean temperature and sea level, orbital cyclones, Himalayan extreme reactions, etc.
India is a party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Quito Protocol (KP) and the Paris Agreement (PA). Constructive. The Government of India is committed to tackling climate change through its various programs and schemes, including the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), which includes solar energy, energy security, water, resources, Himalayan biodiversity. System, Sustainable Settlements, Green India and Missions for specific areas of comprehensive information on climate change. NAPCC provides a comprehensive approach to all climate factors. According to the NAPCC, the State-Specific issues related to Climate Change Action Plan (SAPCC) have been prepared. Clarify priority actions including targeted change. Climate change and its impact is important for Kashmir.Following Domains Effected due to Climate Change in Kashmir.
Snow and Heat.
There have been changes in snowfall in Kashmir due to climate change. The amount of snowfall increases or the snow that falls turns into ice.In summer days, the taste of snow provides extreme beauty and delights the tourists with its beautiful scenery.
Water Level.
Rivers are changing in flavour, and are susceptible to changes in water levels in Kashmir due to climate change.After snowfall, the snow melt water turns into water and it fills the glaciers.
Agricultural Production.
Due to climate change, effects on agricultural production are also being felt in Kashmir.Deficiency of snowfall or excess amount of snow, affects agricultural activities.
Tourism.
Tourism in Kashmir is also affected due to climate change.Summer is the best tourist season while the snow sceneries are breathtaking.
Environmental Impact.
There are also environmental impacts in Kashmir due to climate change.These changes could be the increase in the amount of precipitation and increase in temperature.
Due to climate change, Kashmir experiences different characteristics in each season, which affects the lives of the people of the affected area.If there is no snow on the Peer Panjal mountain range, then in the future we will see the negative results of this thing in the field. Since the presence of snow in Kashmir is very important for the economy. Come and enjoy the beauty of this place as well as ski and participate in the Winter Games. This process lasts for about three months, during which the work of the hoteliers increases while staying in Black Kashmir. When the blacks visit the markets of Kashmir, they buy famous items like Paper Mache and other things. The biannual aspect is that if there is a shortage of snow in Kashmir, there will be a severe water shortage in the summer season, due to which there will be a shortage of water in Kashmir and there will also be a shortage of irrigation and drinking water for fields.
Climate change started to show its effects long ago, During 1980, there was no snow until the end of February, but then there was so much snow that the entire system of life was disrupted for fifteen days. There is hope. If people change their habits, this change can be improved. But for this, every human being has to play his role.
