A study suggests that the Thar Desert in India could turn green by the end of the century due to climate change. The study, which was published in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that the Thar Desert is expected to receive more rainfall as the climate warms, which could lead to the growth of vegetation.
The study's authors say that the greening of the Thar Desert could have both positive and negative consequences. On the positive side, it could provide new opportunities for agriculture and economic development in the region. However, it could also lead to increased competition for water resources and the spread of invasive species.
The study's authors call for further research to better understand the potential impacts of the greening of the Thar Desert. They also say that it is important to develop adaptation strategies to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on the region.
