On Every news channel one can find two news very often.
1. India's development and growing reputation in the international market
2. Global warming.
Although these two news are completely different,but at one point, i think they DO meet. Even if we go by the BRIC report of India surpassing US by 2050 in terms of GDP and all those stuff but what about global warming ? For surpassing US, India will have to continue it's progress at the same pace i.e. maintaning an average GDP of about 9%.. But what if some natural disaster strikes India! Won't it's pace get slower. The TOI dated, 7th May had a report saying that, by 2020, due to rising sea levels about 30,000 families in India living along the coast will be displaced. And the threat is for all the cities along the coastline which is total about 7600km. Imagine what will happen if India's commercial capital Mumbai,is hit by one such disaster. We already have seen in July last year when the whole Mumbai was under water.
My Que is... With such measures in our country and both the things (India's growth and global warming) happening simultaneously, will India be able to overcome all the disasters and continue it's March towards development or a country like US, who is perhaps less likely to be affected than India by global warming and having much advanced precautionary measures than India will get advantage of this ???
