What is India's total impact on global temperature rise?
A recent study using multi-gas modeling from IIT Kharagpur and Cranfield University indicates that India has added approximately 0.05°C to global warming as of 2024. In comparison, the United States is responsible for about 0.27°C, while China accounts for 0.19°C. The research notes that India's warming impact saw a significant increase following 1990, largely due to the use of fossil fuels. Specifically, the energy sector is responsible for 61% of India's overall contribution to warming, with agriculture accounting for 28%.
