The notion that India is warming faster than the global average is a misconception; the data presents a different narrative.
Recent headlines often claim that India is warming at an alarming, unprecedented rate compared to the rest of the world, but long-term observational data reveals a much more complex—and surprising—reality. When we examine the seasonal temperature trends from 1995 to 2024, specifically during the critical March–May (MAM) pre-monsoon season, India emerges as a global anomaly. While the Arctic, Europe, and parts of the Middle East are experiencing "climate fever" with warming rates as high as 0.6°C to 1.5°C per decade, large swaths of the Indian subcontinent show a significantly more stable trend, often hovering between a mere 0 to 0.2°C per decade. This data suggests that the assumption of India warming "faster" than other regions is not only misleading but factually incorrect when compared to the global mean and high-latitude hotspots.
This "Indian Warming Lag" is likely the result of unique regional factors that act as a temporary atmospheric shield. The high concentration of aerosols (dust and pollution) over the Indo-Gangetic Plain scatters incoming solar radiation—a phenomenon known as "solar dimming"—which effectively masks the full force of greenhouse gas warming during the peak daylight hours of spring. Furthermore, the maritime influence of the Indian Ocean and massive regional irrigation projects provide a cooling counter-balance that landlocked northern continents lack. While India is undoubtedly getting warmer, the actual rate of change is among the slowest in Asia, proving that local geography and atmospheric conditions continue to buffer the subcontinent against the more aggressive warming trends seen elsewhere on the globe. In short: India is not the warming epicenter the headlines claim it to be; it is, in fact, one of the most resilient regions against rapid seasonal temperature shifts.

India needs better architecture and aesthetics.
Our cities are all pathetic in planning, space, cleanliness, colors, beautiful plantations etc. Here's Barcelona compared to Delhi on the left. A complete overhaul is needed. 🧵 Thread...

Congratulations, India🇮🇳!

@Ashutos33946989 @PTI_News What will they get from publicity or support from a fraction of people... Will it guarantee their success in the moon mission?? Or is this your hatred for saffron that's blinding you to see hard work of people and limiting you to think things only around saffron ??
@Ashutos33946989 @PTI_News And amazingly i haven't seen you also talking anywhere about Manipur... Now you're comparing a riot with a moon mission.. kudos to logic .. was the moon mission done for the sole purpose of deviating people attention from Manipur??
@Ashutos33946989 @PTI_News What they're doing must matter to you and you can comment on how it can be done better rather than targeting their personal faith... after doing their work the only thing remains for their 100% successfulness is faith .. so let them have it peacefully n if you can then applaud
@Ashutos33946989 @PTI_News They're doing their utmost in scientific community by having scientific temperament only or is the saffron forcing them to do scientific work ?? And If saffron is forcing them to excel in science ... I don't think then also it's a bad thing

I haven't received my degree after complaining many times ... At last I went to aktu head office lucknow and paid 1700 for degree and Marksheet and they told me I'll receive it in 10-15 days but it's going to be nearly a month and I haven't received my degree yet.

I haven't received my degree yet. I'm a student of batch 2017-2021. I have submitted my complaint many times to aktu and written many mails also , but never got any reply.
I hope @AKTU_Lucknow resolve my issue as soon as possible.
