Global Warming in India: Science, Impacts, and Politics

“Prakruti ki baat hai (it has to do with nature).” Small farmers from Gujarat did not consider it imaginable that human beings had the power to alter nature on this scale. We do.

This short book on global warming discusses the causes of global warming; its science; who all are responsible for it; the steps taken and promised by local, national and global authorities; and what we can do. Based on conversations with people from different Indian states – including farmers, students, teachers, and environmental activists – public meetings, and talks, its broad purpose is to urge greater engagement, whether individual or collective, with the climate crisis."
