Rising Sea Levels Threatens India
Climate change will make monsoons unpredictable, as a result, rain-fed wheat cultivation in South Asia will suffer in a big way and the total cereal production will go down. However, industrial activities without proper precautionary measures for environmental protection are known to cause pollution and associated problems.
The rising levels of the sea in the coastal areas will damage nursery areas for fisheries, causing coastal erosion and flooding. The Arctic regions, Sub-Saharan Africa, small islands and Asian mega deltas, including the Ganga and Brahmaputra, will be affected most.
