dibakar: Wthether the changes
would be uniform all over the globe
prof. K K Sharma: Dibakar with respect
to the climatic changes moutains have become more vulnarable in
deterioration of mountain ecosystem whereby all physical and human
systems are most sufferes in respect to biodiversity lost water,
forest, land degradation,soil erosion,etc
Prof K K Sharma: Welcome all of
you to the chat session
Admin: hello sir
dibakar: Prof my second question was whether the effects
would be similar at all mountain regions
Prof K K Sharma: Dibakar
although climate change is the global phenomena but the impacts
would be different in different mountain regions
dibakar: Prof would you please elaborate why you think
'climatic changes moutains have become more vulnarable '
Rajiv: Good Afternoon Sir,
gagan: Goodevening sir
trailokyasaud: good afternoon sir.
Rajiv: how we can improve the reliability of climate
projections at a regional level?
Prof K K Sharma: Welcome Gagan
and Rajiv and Trailokyasaud
trailokyasaud: thank you
vivek: hello sir
Prof K K Sharma: Rajiv we need
strenghten short range weather forcasting system for improving
climatic projections at regional level
Prof K K Sharma: Hello Vivek
Prof K K Sharma: Trailokya
please ask questions
dinesh:hello sir
Prof K K Sharma: Dinesh hello
trailokyasaud: what are the most important things for
mitigation of climate change now???
dinesh: Climate cycle is totally change in last 2 year
dibakar: Prof would you please elaborate why you think
'climatic changes moutains have become more vulnarable '
dinesh: what the main cause behind it
Rajiv: sir what is the role of WHO in this prospect?
Prof K K Sharma: Trailokya, The
most important points to mitigate the climate change is to first
analyse the mountain ecosystem and their threshold so that renable
plans and policies related to it can be implemented on micro level
basis.
rajan: Hello Sir
trailokyasaud: what is bc and how it effects the mountanian
region??
rajan: What is the impact of climate change on human health
currently in Himalayan region
Prof K K Sharma: Dinesh climate
is a long term process in weather system and it is not possible to
understand in two years time but there are certain anomalies in the
weather systems which people usually call climate cycle which is not
true
Prof K K Sharma: Rajan, climate
which is showing a change probably harming the human health in
different kind of diseases which has enhance in the mountain
regions.
sudeepa: n the long run how the livelihoods of the hill
people going to affect
trailokyasaud: if the system continues like these days what
will be status of mountains after 50 years??
Prof K K Sharma: Trailokya
please give full form of bc
rajan: Sir, What kind of diseases have hit the people in the
hinalayan region
trailokyasaud: bc is black carbon generally it deposites on
ice
Prof K K Sharma: Sudeepa because
of the climatic changes the whole mountain ecosystem is under threat
once if it is so the basic livelihood patterns are distrubed and
people are force to migrate to new locations.
amit: mountain play any role in global warming?
sudeepa: What will be the long term impact of this on the
population living there. Could you give any example that have forced
people of mountain area to migrate?
Prof K K Sharma: Trilokya there
are two ways to understand if the present rate of pollution
continues for another decades mountains will become unsustainable
and if we are able to mitigate pollution which is considered to be
main reason for climatic change probably we see that in time to come
mountains can be saved from the vulnerability
trailokyasaud: have you seen any remarkable change in
himalaya due to climate change??
amit: Is there any agency to protact the biodivercity of
mountains?
bish: hallo sir
dinesh: what types of changes will impact in Mountain region
due to global warming?
Prof K K Sharma: Sudeepa, I have
been monitoring climatic change and its impact in Himachal Pradesh
where nearly 1900 villages have become abodened due to local
scarecity of resouces which is considered to be a direct impact of
change.
bish: is the size of himalaya increasing
amit:> what is the difference between weather and climate?
Prof K K Sharma: Dinesh, the
global warming will change the upper air system which is closely
associated with mountiain systems
Prof K K Sharma: Amit, day to
day changes is called weather and long weather conditions is called
climate
amit: what are the changeses in climate seen in mountain
region?
Prof K K Sharma: Amit if you
might have read about the plate tectonics then it is easy to
understand that Euroasian plate from the north and Indian plate from
the south collides together at a point which are known as himalyas.
It is estimated there is 1 - 2 cm rise of himalyas every year
Prof K K Sharma: Amit, we don't
directly see the climatic change but probably understand through the
changes in ecosystem.
manav: What is the average global temperature now?
manav: sir please answer
Prof K K Sharma: Manav be more
specific because it is not very right to analyse the climatic change
on the basis of average global temperature but we work on the
analysis how it is rising in the pesent context.
manav: What does the ozone hole have to do with climate
change?
Prof K K Sharma: Manav, ozone
hole would probably increase the ultraviolet rays which will
directly have the impact on the climate on the earth.
manav: What can we do about global warming?
Prof K K Sharma: Manav there are
many ways by which we can do for understanding and reducing the
global warming it can began with your own small efforts at home and
at regional, national and International level through various
programmes and policies
rajan: Sir, what are the mechanisms to sustain these
migration of people from the himalayan region? Is govt. working in
these directions
manav: Can what happens in The Day After Tomorrow happen in
real life?
Prof K K Sharma: Rajan, the best
programme right away beside other programme is National Rural
Employment Guarantee Programme - NREGA. It includes programmes for
providing employment at the place of their residence in improving
the econsystem through water management, soil management, wastland
management, Agriculture development and infrastructure development.
This programme is considered best to restrict people from where they
belong.
rajan: what are the future potential to reduce these effects
Prof K K Sharma: Manav the whole
global system is misterious and unpredicatable it is difficult to
say what can happen tomorrow
rajan: what are the human security? how vulnerable we are in
next ten years?
manav: What is "abrupt climate change?"
Prof K K Sharma: Rajan with the
present environmental changes occuring in the next few years they
continue with the same rate the very human survival is at big
question in terms of food security, health issues,environmental
issues, water scarcity, air pollution etc
Prof K K Sharma: Manav there is
no abrupt climatic change but there is certainly abrupt weather
anomalies
