Pollution to blame for India’s unpredictable monsoon

The pollution is making India's monsoons more unpredictable. This is a major alert for Indians, as the monsoons are "the lifeblood of the nation's agrarian economy." The monsoons provide about 70% of the required rainfall, which is essential for irrigating farms and replenishing reservoirs and aquifers. However, the new study says that "increased emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and rising pollution levels are altering monsoon patterns, resulting in adverse impacts on agriculture and posing challenges for accurate forecasting."

The specific ways in which pollution is making the monsoons more unpredictable. First, the pollution can "block sunlight, which can reduce the amount of heat that reaches the Earth's surface." This can lead to a decrease in rainfall. Second, the pollution can "change the way that air flows, which can disrupt the monsoon pattern." This can lead to more extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts.

The challenge of dealing with the unpredictable monsoons is only going to get more difficult in the years to come." "India needs to take urgent steps to reduce pollution and mitigate the effects of climate change”, the study reveals.

Here are some of the things that India can do to reduce pollution and mitigate the effects of climate change:

• Switch to renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power.

• Invest in energy efficiency measures, such as insulation and energy-efficient appliances.

• Plant trees, which help to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

• Reduce deforestation, which also helps to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

• Promote public transportation and walkable communities, which can reduce the number of cars on the road and the amount of pollution emitted.

• By taking these steps, India can help to reduce pollution and mitigate the effects of climate change, which will help to make the monsoons more predictable and less destructive.
