lion said, subbing, what's your story? i've been working on women, especially and victims of violence and i love to take part and send us your story. we are trying always to understand this new culture. so you are not a visitor, not the guests. you want to become a citizen in phil migrants, your platform for reliable information. you're watching d. w. news, asia coming up today. the devastating impact of climate change on india's farmers. we report from the western state of my roster, where extreme and sudden changes in the weather are causing crops to fail, creating impossible conditions for some of the people living there. so you're pretty sure point in origin action that the bank of this tube degree change

is unimaginable even for it's like it's like me and another impact of climate change and rising temperatures is the bleaching of coral reefs. scientists in australia believe they may have found a way of mitigating the impact of such events. ah, i melissa chan, thanks for joining us. south asia has been suffering unseasonably hot weather in recent months. in april, some places in india recorded their highest temperatures ever for the time of year . international researchers say such heat waves are 30 times more likely to happen because of climate change. greenpeace india says global heating is not only causing more illness and death. it is also leading to crops failures and food insecurity

heat. these mini or charter has been speaking to farmers in my russia state in western india. they told her they have never experienced weather patterns as extreme as they are now. more stretches of land in with arbor, a region in the western state of my russia looked like this during the summer months. several districts here are categorized as climate change, hotspots, soaring temperatures, and the shortage of water makes life difficult for the millions of families who live here bonded unc garvey says this, the us heat wave is terrible and it's almost impossible to work in these conditions . he says it's not just farmer's productivity, but also how much they produce that is impacted or delivery actually took a tiny organisms which live in the soil make it for toil. hoover, if it gets to hoppy, be organisms are affected. run awfully. if they are wiped out entirely because of

such heat, lumped will eventually become barren. what is wonder them in? we'll have fruit farmer john inquiry also says he has never experienced such blistering, heat, which hath destroyed the orange plantations, for which this area is best known. he adds that the region has been recently prone to sudden weather changes which affect people's work and income. can i get them to him that the weather patterns he had become erotic to work last year? it's suddenly rain, very heavily destroying our crawl. so let us pharmacy and we're completely dependent on nature for farming. and when there is a natural calamity, it's affects our yield load, little the wants of rains are weitel crops in india. this year the rains have been delayed here. the region of the doorbell, economically dependent on agriculture, is highly sensitive to climate change. intense heat, long dry spells, unseasonal hailstones and changing green patterns. impact the process of farming and the crop yield all year long. but these are graduated,

bigger and agriculture x. but bible says, what did it deal, soil has rapidly degraded because the lease changes up high on what the rising temperature over the years. we have seen that the rising temperatures on the late monsoons are 2 of the biggest problems affecting indian agriculture. agriculture. pharmacy are very dependent on the reins from amend such delays. effect production, i think bakery was abandon, isn't among farmers one bed agricultural practices is may and helps them implement measures to corporate climate change. what is clearly needed is for policy makers to strongly intervene to mitigate the impact of climate change. for the farmers toiling in the scorching sun. there is no time to rest. though they are at the mercy of global weather changes, they cannot give up as they struggle to make a living. for more we are joined by roxy matthew call at the indian institute of

tropical meteorology. roxy, last year in parts of india, farmers talked about too much rain. now it's too much heat and this has to do with climate change. tell us more is we are seeing that there was 13 bags of global warming, particularly in the regions of south issue. yeah, which is quite sensitive to changes in temperature as we are seeing wants some patterns changing as global warming increases sturbridge or increases while we're air can or more moisture time. so it doesn't grain for a long time. but when it rains, it powers and dumps all that moisture in a few hours to few days time. so we see johnson 1st happening in the same or in one year drought and in the next year. so this year we were waiting for the months and, but the one on is sluggish. so far the department has forecasted a normal lunch,

but so far there's a 4 digit c. so we see we saw a huge heat in progress back during market for me. it's not a one day or one and only that b c. c, some long rain for it also during march of mate in their northwest. yeah. park is going to every 60 to 90 person scenario where was extremely overlap and that's happening to me. i wonder, are we past the point of prevention and now it's really a question of mitigation for india when it comes to these extreme weather patterns . right. we are, we are already seeing that you backed off that one. so she was changing global temperatures. there is a 50 percent increase in the number of cyprus in the already been see during the

rest course of india and parts of swell. the last one and there is a 34 rising, extreme rain for gross and temperature, the heat hours, right? i mean the, or should be, see it's me, g, y over the ocean, shooting the morning to the fissures. so we are, we ship point, we need origin action report shows that despite all the commitments, the different nations, we are already shooting 1.5 degrees. so it's just between 202-020-4023 . so it's just between 2040 and 60 and the impact of this 2 degree change is unimaginable even for a fact. it's like me. right. and so india disappointed many people in the most recent climate change summit in glasgow. do you think the countries should be doing

more but why did you that all countries shouldn't do more? in fact, us euro, russia, japan, or the congress of storage lead to or in that be read that one. give me associates know china. i mean yes joint the band bags are coming to lars, but you just follow one of those commitments. it does already brought from 0 to $100.00. get it coming to about 100. you go what, what off. so not in the by 233. you just reach up to 50 gig was by 2021 which is a huge leap. why do you need to fall farther on that on those commitments? what is the global upward? it won't be on the level of individual or a day, or 2 countries globally be due to quality effort in terms of mitigating already

emission. and we also need adopt ition walker level. that is one phase where you come in, ministry as one is very what? because even don't. why mean or time changes? right, so that we are mostly locker. so we need locking up dition measures. got it. roxy, matthew call, thank you so much for joining us. and what a difference a new government makes. in australia, the new center left administration is committing to stricter emissions targets. in recent years, the country has endured drought fires. you may remember those badly burnt koala locals were helping to save and floods. prime minister anthony albany, see now says australia will aim to reduce emissions by 43 percent. a significant change and that's what sets australia up for

a prosperous future. a future powered by cleaner, cheaper energy, a future in which we make more things here. a few trim which we participate in the global effort to deal with the challenge of climate change. but also i see opportunity that is there from acting on climate change. when i've spoken with the international leaders in the last a few weeks, they have all welcomed australia's change position. at change position of 43, up by ah, 79 to 15. climate change astrally in many ways including along its shores. a country famous for its beautiful ocean reefs has seen the phenomenon known as coral bleaching, essentially the destruction of reefs due to rising water, temperatures and scientists have been working hard to see if they can ever bring the reefs back to life. when fi temperature rises,

coral stress out and expel the lp that gives them the vibrant color a process called co, roop leaking, disrupting ecosystems across the world. now, scientists say they might have found a way to mitigate it by bolstering soft corals, the lesson known and under studied cousin of the hot reefs. they provide tons of food and shelter for other species. they grow really quickly, so they're good at re colonizing after a major disturbance such as like a big cyclone or a bleaching event. i'm and honestly they're just beautiful and they deserve all the research the hartwell's. yet, they also appear to be more resilient to coral bleaching. marine sciences. rosie steinbeck says some of the soft corals ought to chorus didn't respond physically to marine heat ways. that means there's a chance that the already loss reese can recover through those species. but it

doesn't mean octo chorus a less endangered, even though they did in general better than the heart quarrels. when they finally did bleach, it was catastrophic. i mean, they were literally peeling off the rocks. so even though they do better at 1st, when things start going wrong, they go wrong very, very quickly. across the world, south asia, the pacific and australia have lost the largest proportions of both soft and hot coral reefs due to climate change. in addition to pollution and overfishing specialized in soft corals, steinbeck and other scientists have developed a way to monitor to health of to corals. but she says to problem leads to be tackled from its root, restoring reefs, and regenerating reefs is not gonna be the way we save them the way we save them is producing carbon dioxide emissions. and then when those emissions are gone and we have all these techniques restoration, then we'll be able to bring them back. so the vibrance under the sea can as well be

preserved. that's it for us thursday. be sure to check out our other stories on d. w. dot com, forward slash asia, or on facebook and twitter. we'll see you next time. good bye. these places in europe were smashing in the records. stepped into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you up to record breaking sites on your back. youtube and now also in book form
