Global climate change, being caused primarily by the building up of
Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere, is a serious
environmental concern for the world community. The
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), established in
1988 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United
Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), concluded in its Fourth
Assessment Report, released in November 2007, that the fact of
global warming is unequivocal and there is enough evidence to
indicate that this is due to anthropogenic reasons. Recent years
have been the warmest since 1860, the year from when regular
instrumental records are available. India has always been subject
to a large degree of climate variability. This is likely to be
accentuated by climate change. As a part of voluntary actions to
address climate change related concerns, India launched National
Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) on June 30, 2008. It stresses
the need to maintain a high growth rate for improving living
standards of the vast majority of people of India and at the same
time to reduce their vulnerability to the adverse impacts of
climate change. This book is an attempt to explain the impending
perils of climate change and underscore the need for timely
remedial measures to deal with the emerging crisis.
