Contemporary research studies suggest that global warming can reduce the crop harvest up to 30 %. Global warming is eventually potential to amplify the risk of child death caused by diarrhoea.
Few Hard Facts about Global Warming
In many ways, the global warming going to have more severe effects due to the climate change. According to the study, the coastal systems, low-lying areas, food, fiber and several forest products are going to be affected due to the climate change.
The study has projected that crop yields can go down up to 30 % in south and central Asia by the 21st century. It has been added that widespread morbidity and mortality caused by diarrhoea that is primarily connected with droughts and floods are predicted to rise in east, south and southeast Asia.
It has been reiterated that the continuous melting of glacier in the Himalayan range is projected to rise even more in the near future due to the climate change.
The availability of fresh water in central, east, south and Southeast Asia, specifically in the large river basins, can diminish. The report also suggested that thickly populated mega delta regions have been predicted to be at greater risk.
