Visakhapatnam: Global warming is the major difficulty of this century, with its detrimental effects with recurring events of massive floods, destroying droughts and ravaging cyclones throughout the globe.
While the country has been experiencing its adverse effects, both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states have been facing floods, low rainfall with drought conditions, and increased temperatures during winters.
The recent catastrophic climatic events like the massive floods in Kurnool, Nalgonda, Guntur, Prakasam, and North Andhra districts were some of the examples, experts say.
Nalgonda district, which has scanty water bodies, faced severe flood scenario last year.
Between 2000 and 2004, an average of 26 climatic disasters were reported across the globe each year.
Thus, the immense geological changes will continue their destruction unabated if steps to mitigate global warming are not taken, they say.
Cyclones have been observed to be more frequent in the Bay of Bengal.
