Scientists have fingered the culprit as the new Moriarty of mankind: global warming.

The monsoon is here

The monsoon is a wind current in Southern Asia, blowing north east during the summer and southwest monsoon during the winter. During the summer, the monsoon brings heavy rains to southern Asia and Africa, while in the winter it causes the drier seasons. The lives of many people in these areas have developed around these seasonal changes.

Economic impacts of climate change

The author brings out that the scientific evidence is now overwhelming: climate change presents very serious global risks, and it demands an urgent global response. The range of climatic changes anticipated - will have real impacts on the natural environment as well as man-made infrastructure and their ability to contribute to economic activity and quality of life.
