drought struck indiaIt is disappointing for Indian farmers and monsoon lovers to learn that India’s monsoon is weakening. Yeah! Once again blame climate change for it. And this may lead to droughts, which potentially may affect the world’s most populous region. Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego made this new study.
