Why India witnessed extreme weather in 88% of days in the last nine months

By Shankar Sharma* 
More and more reports about multiple evidences on the fast escalating consequences of global warming/ climate change are appearing in the global media. A recent report from CSE on India, as in the link below, should be of huge concern to our authorities. If 88% of the days in 9 months have witnessed extreme weather, it should be a matter of great concern for our people. The associated concerns can only escalate massively if the present trend of our authorities to persist with BAU scenario continues.
Few associated news articles/reports, as in the news links below, should be of huge relevance to our authorities, if they really care for the welfare of our people, and if they are also wise enough to learn from the experiences from around the world.
Let us hope that the PM's sermons about the true relevance of roof top solar PV systems, solar villages, solar pump sets, additional revenue to our farmers, VISHWA GURU etc will not be just a part of rhetoric slogans.

• India witnessed extreme weather in 88% of days in the last 9 months, says CSE report
• India's first fully solar village lights up the lives of poor residents
• A near 100 per cent renewables grid is well within reach, and with little storage
• Rooftop solar meets all local network demand in South Australia for more than five hour
• Victoria speeds up neighbourhood battery installations to maximise rooftop solar
• Rather than an endlessly reheated nuclear debate, politicians should be powered by the evidence
• America’s Only New Nuclear Plant Inches Closer to a Long-Delayed Start
