Oslo The Indian monsoon is likely to fail more often in the next 200 years, threatening food supplies, unless governments agree how to limit climate change, a study showed on Tuesday.

The monsoon rains could collapse about every fifth year between 2150 and 2200 with continued global warming, blamed mainly on human burning of fossil fuels, and related shifts in tropical air flows, it said.

India, which relies heavily on the monsoon rains for its vital agriculture sector, may suffer “frequent and severe” failures in its monsoon system due to global warming in next 200 years, a new res

The Indian monsoon is likely to fail more often in the next 200 years, warns this new study by Jacob Schewe and Anders Levermann published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. Says that the monsoon rains could collapse about every fifth year between 2150 and 2200 with continued global warming.

Revenue Minister Adoor Prakash on Sunday said that a renewed representation demanding a compensation worth Rs 150 crore for the victims of monsoon disasters would be submitted to the Central Government.

He was addressing reporters at the Government Guest House, Ernakulam, after conducting talks with the Central committee that came to evaluate the loss in the state owing to the monsoon.

The increasing trend of rising tropospheric temperatures due to the global climate change is reflected in the efficacy
of Indian monsoons too. It is imperative to have a high level, skilled mechanism to monitor and predict this trend
to help manage preparedness.

Flash floods on the edge of high terrain, such as the Himalayas or Rocky Mountains, are especially dangerous and hard to predict. The Leh flood of 2010 at the edge of the Himalayan Plateau in India is an example of the tragic consequences of such storms. The flood occurred over a high mountain river valley when, on three successive days, diurnally generated convective cells over the Tibetan Plateau gathered into mesoscale convective systems and moved off the edge of the Plateau over Leh.

Pakistan’s recent torrential floods, triggered by heavy monsoon rains in different parts of the country, killed at least 412 people and injured 1,172 others besides affecting over 8.2 million more.
