Asia erased a heavy toll on the economies of the region almost twice as a global average: WMO | Bharat News
New Delhi: Asia is currently almost double the form of a global average with a trend of 1991-2024, which is almost doubled, which is almost double the 1961–1990, promotes more extreme weather and erases heavy tolls on the economies and ecosystems of the region, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Monday.It said that with a recording increase of 1.04 ° C above the average of 1991-2020, the hottest or second is the hottest year on record with widespread and longer heat waves in 2024, and last year, many extreme weather events hit India, with more than 350 people killed, which killed more than 350 people.The Asia report of the WMO as the Asia report stated that many parts of the region experienced “acute heatwaves” in many parts of India in 2024, causing more than 450 deaths across the country.It was also highlighted that 23 out of 24 glaciers (centered on Tibetan plateau) in the High-Parvat Asia region were shown continuously large-scale losses during 2023/2024. “Winter snowfall and extreme summer heat in the central Himalayas (most of Nepal in China, Tibet Autonomous Region and Sikkim in India) and most Tian Shan (mountain range shared by China, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan) intensified large -scale losses for most glaciers,” said this.Large -scale losses for most glaciers in the region are quite worrisome as 10 of the largest rivers in Asia – including Indus, Brahmaputra and Ganga – Hindu Kush originated in the Himalayas. Since these rivers provide water for a quarter of the world’s population, such heavy losses can affect the availability of water in future if the warming trend continues.“The Asia report highlights changes in major climate indicators such as surface temperature, glacier mass, and sea levels, which will have major consequences for societies, economies and ecosystems in the region. The extreme weather is already an unacceptable high toll accurate, ”said WMO General Secretary Celeste Shaolo.The Asia is the continent with the largest land mass extending to the Arctic and is heating up more rapidly than double the global average as the temperature rise on the land is larger than the increase in temperature on the sea.The report stated, “In 2024, most of the ocean regions of Asia were affected by strong, severe or extreme intensity marine heatweaves.
