Attributing uttarakhand rain disaster to climatie change and building a number of dams or random construction seems ridiculous and an act of adventurism when about Ninty years ago a storm of prima facie more severity occurred over Uttrakhnd from Sept 24 – 29 1924 when there were neither any ecological degradtion or developmental issues even conceived. The whole issue is being overplayed to mthe detriment of India’s develoment for clean and renewable enegy projects.

The fact that many of the hydropower plants in operation do not have substantial reservoirs and are run of river reduces their ability to mitigate floods. This is not the case with Tehri Dam.

KC, not really. I personally don’t conclude that this event is the direct result of global warming but it is not at all the case that the link between this major weather event and climate change is as distant as you suggest. I’ve been discussing this with colleagues and there are some good arguments linking climate change and Uttarakhand. One thing for sure: Climate change is not UNrelated to most weather events because AGW has very widespread effects and climate and weather are different aspects and ways of looking at the same thing.

The monsoons have done things a few times in recent years that they only do very very rarely, and there is a good argument that this is a climate change related phenomenon. Hyperbolic suggestions that the link is utterly impossible is a form of climate change denialism, and that is not a service to the families of the dead.

This article is based on pre conceived notion ignoring the ground reality. This is like to conclude that Gujrat earthquake was caused by off shore drilling.Everybody is concluding according to his convenience.
