Dear readers,
The monsoons rains have caused disasters in Himachal Pradesh, and is causing landslides across the Himalayas.
In some parts the rain is welcome since India ended June with water storage level in 101 of its 143 reservoirs at 40% or less.
In Madhya Pradesh, scanty June rain forced farmers to sow paddy a second time.
Elsewhere eastern Africa’s drought is likely to get worse since human-induced warming has raised the temperature of the western Pacific Ocean. Overall, Africa needs $2.8 trillion from 2020-2030 to meet climate goals, says a new report.
Meanwhile, while developed countries like the European Union should cut their emissions so the developing world suffers from climate impacts less, it has instead increased its use of polluting fuels like coal.
The state received about 23% less rainfall than average till June 28, 2022, resulting in wilting of crops; farmers have had to borrow money to sow their fields again
