URL copied Climate change may change rainfall patterns in south India, intensify floods Future climate change will cause an uneven shifting of the tropical rain belt -- a narrow band of heavy precipitation near the Earths equator -- leading to increased flooding in parts of India, a new study warns. The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, examined computer simulations from 27 state-of-the-art climate models, and measured the tropical rain belts response to a future ...

What impact this climate change have on the spread of disease. climate and climate variability climate change will impact on the spread of diseases in many many ways a lot of its mediated by rainfall patterns and temperature preference viruses and particularly the vectors the carry them are very sensitive to rainfall humidity groundwater and that will drive vector borne disease weve seen it this year which you can do you would take breaks all over the world equally we will see diseases associate...

A disaster the normal procedures of checks and balances are in moved so this is a patient in these decision making is removed so that now where you would have on an application for desalination plants for example would go through certain checks and balances we citizens are part of the decision making those days and comment and i havent they say this because of the drought because they indicated disaster those rights of taking away. the 3 small desalination plants were set up hastily for a lot of...

Because theres a drought because they indicated disaster those rights of taking away. the 3 small desalination plants were set up hastily for a lot of money critics say the use of huge amounts of energy but only provide 2 percent of daily water demand. climate changes altering global rainfall patterns higher latitudes in the tropics are expected to get wet or moderate latitudes and already arid regions will get drier cape towns municipal officials have recognised that surface water will no longe...

Themselves. so i think its really important for scientists to go out in communities and engage with whats important to people in communities. >> it feels overwhelming. >> it does feel overwhelming. >> the science feels overwhelming, ill be honest. it just does. is there a way of figuring out how to prioritize? >> i mean, thats the thing. it is overwhelming, because we are talking about something that affects the planet that we live on. were talking about global warming, but were also talking abo...

As a result of that. do you buy it? >> i think we have to really sort of break down the study. its not necessarily that were suddenly going to turn into murderers or start beating our husbands and things like that. more what they are looking at is changes in rainfall patterns and changes in heat so that what youre going to be getting is crop failures. crop failures weve seen in the past, you know, in 2010 because of the heat wave in russia we had a crop failure. limited -- they lost 40% of the w...
