Impact of climate change on human development with refrence to India

Rising fossil fuel burning and land use changes have emitted, and are continuing to emit, increasing quantities of greenhouse gases into the Earth's atmosphere. These greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrogen dioxide (N2O), and a rise in these gases has caused a rise in the amount of heat from the sun withheld in the Earth's atmosphere, heat that would normally be radiated back into space. This increase in heat has led to the greenhouse effect, resulting in climate change. The main characteristics of climate change are increases in average global temperature (global warming);changes in cloud cover and precipitation particularly overland; melting of ice caps and glaciers and reduced snow cover; and increases in ocean temperatures and ocean acidity-due to seawater absorbing heat and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This paper discusses the climatic impacts on the human development on the major concerns in the field of health, agriculture and many more. It tries to find out the solutions for this major problem.
