SUMMARY:"Why are impacts so large for seemingly small changes in climate?" A talk by Dr. Chirag Dhara, Indian Institute of Meteorology.
LOCATION:: Ramanujan Lecture Theatre\, FLAME University.
DESCRIPTION:About the talk: \nWhy is rainfall in India becoming patchier? Why is India’
 s east coast much more prone to cyclones than the west coast? Why did the B
 ay of Bengal swallow a fully functioning school in the Sundarbans in a spac
 e of merely four years? What is the future we are condemning our youth to? 
 \nThe IPCC released a special report in late 2018. It detailed the differen
 ce in the impacts of climate change at a global temperature rise of 1.5C an
 d 2C. Impacts are disproportionately larger for what would appear to be a s
 mall temperature difference. How do we make sense of that?\nIn this talk, w
 e will discuss and understand the IPCC report, the magnitude of the problem
  of global climate change, its ramifications for India (and the rest of the
  world), and the immense challenge of stepping back from the brink. During 
 and after the talk, we welcome a discussion on what we should, and must, do
  to stave off the worst.\nBio-sketch of the Speaker:\nDr Chirag is currentl
 y associated with the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology and working 
 on climate change assessment in India. He has carried out his doctoral work
  about atmospheric modelling and climate change projections from Max Planck
  Institute for Biogeochemistry, Germany. His research interests are in atmo
 spheric radiation and convection and climate change impacts. Currently, Dr 
 Chirag is also involved with IISER Pune in developing lessons plans on clim
 ate change for undergraduate syllabi.\n
