India getting less and less of sunlight
A rapidly industrialising India is receiving five per cent less sunlight than it did two decades ago due to a blanket of smog over the country, according to a new research.
Ironically, the phenomenon known as “solar dimming” may also protect the country against global warming, according to a study by Padma Kumari and colleagues at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology in Pune, which has been published in Geophysical Research Letters.
