SEVERE CYCLONIC STORMS OVER THE ARABIAN SEA- A RISING ECONOMIC BURDEN
Authors/Creators
Description
Climate change is the outcome of natural as well as man-made reasons. What we currently see is a set of erratic climatic episodes which are predominantly correlated to excessive amounts of CO2 and other GHGs released by mankind. Mankind definitely seems to have not been kind enough in matters of environmental protection and conservation.
Although scientists are uncertain whether climate change will lead to an increase in the number of storms, there is more confidence that warmer ocean temperatures and higher sea levels are expected to intensify their intensity and impacts. Stronger hurricanes will be far more costly in terms of damages and deaths without action to make coastal (and inland) areas more resilient.
The economic cost of climate change can be seen in the ever-growing losses caused by cyclones and hurricanes. As a result of global warming, cyclones are proving to be the worst accounting for major loss of lives as well as economic damage.
