As the global temperature grows, the threat to the glaciers of the Himalayas and the Hindu Kush mountains is going to be a terrible form. By 2100, half of the glacier will melt in the melt. On this, the lives of 165 crore people directly and indirectly dependent will be horrible. The first flood, and then the endless drought - this is going to be the only thing in the lives of people living in the Himalayan influences. A new study report on climate change has recently been warned.
This research report was published in Nepal's Kathmandu on Monday. 210 scientists work to make it. The International Center for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) researcher Filipus Wester has led to the preparation of this research report. He said, 'It has unveiled the nature of such a climate crisis, which you have never heard of before.'
Studies have shown that if the world's carbon dioxide emissions are not rapidly reduced, two-thirds of the Himalayan-Hindukush glaciers can be melted. Even if the world could bring down the global temperature by more than one and a half degrees by the end of this century, at least one-third of the snow would be melted. But this glacier is one of the world's important water sources. The lives of 25 million people in eight countries of this region are directly dependent on it. This region has the world's highest mountain Mount Everest and the second highest peak ketu (K2). These two mountains, known as the third pole in the world, have the highest ice deposits in the world except the North and South Pole. If this vast ice field melts like this, its rocky mountains can become unbearable within less than 100 years.
Within the next few decades this ice thaw may grow. Because, due to the increasing air pollution and population growth, global warming is not decreasing. Air pollution in this region is mainly due to carbon deposits in the air from the Indo-Gangetic plain area. The area is one of the world's most polluted areas. According to the study, if global temperatures rise by 2 ° C in accordance with the Paris Treaty of 2015, half of the glacier will end up in melt by 2100. And if global temperatures can be restricted to the previous year's one-and-a-half degrees Celsius, then 36 percent of glaciers will disappear. And if it does not stop, dramatic changes will occur in the region in the rainy season.
This glacier is the source of water of the major and important 10 rivers in the world including the Ganges, Sindhu, Hoinghō (Yellow), Mekong, Iravati.
