Reseña del libro "Climate Change: Ipcc, Water Crisis, and Policy Riddles With Reference to India and her Surroundings (en Inglés)"
Notwithstanding denials by climate-skeptics, the global scientific community considers the world environment is rapidly worsening. They argue that failure to adopt measures to reduce CO2 gas emission in the atmosphere could lead to disastrous social-economic, politico-security and environmental consequences.
