Greater warming increases the amount of moisture in the atmosphere over Asia, which directly leads to extreme precipitation. Probability of 20-year, 50-year and 100-year extremes consistently increases with warming across Asia - up to a 7-fold average increase for 100-year extremes under 3 °C (5.4 °F) of warming. [13]
[5]: 6 By 2090, they are projected to rise between an additional 0.8 °C and 3.11 °C depending on global emissions. [5]: 2 There is little expected seasonal variation for temperature increase. [5]: 10 However, heatwaves are expected to increase in frequency and intensity. Currently, a period of three days at the extreme high of expected ...
As part of this plan, Singapore has implemented Southeast Asian's first carbon tax on 1 January 2019, setting the carbon tax at S$5/tCO 2 e for the first five years from 2019 to 2023. With effect from 2024, the carbon tax was raised to S$25/tCO 2 e with a targeted raise to S$45/tCO 2 e in 2026 and 2027 and S$50-80/tCO 2 e by 2030. [ 5 ]
Six cities in India's north and eastern regions recorded temperatures above 44 °C (111 °F), while New Delhi recorded 40.4 °C (104.7 °F) on 18 April. [6]The Ministry of Labour issued an advisory to all states and regions to provide workers with adequate drinking water, emergency ice packs and frequent breaks. [12]
To meet the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit), nine major Asian economies must increase the share of electricity they get from renewable energy from ...
From 1993 to 2008, the sea level in the Gulf of Thailand has risen 3–5 mm per year, compared to the global average of 1.7 mm per year. [5] Danny Marks, professor and climate consultant for the Rockefeller Foundation , has warned that "Climate change is set to drastically affect the world, and Thailand will likely be one of the most affected ...
The main contributor to the country's emissions is fossil fuel combustion, which accounted for about 60% of greenhouse gas emissions in 2014. [3] As of 2018, the electricity sector accounted for 48% of Vietnam's CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion, industry for 28%, transport 16%, the residential sector 4%, the commercial sector 3%, and agriculture 1%.

Black carbon in the Asian Brown Cloud may be reflecting sunlight and dimming Earth below but it is warming other places by absorbing incoming radiation and warming the atmosphere and whatever it touches. [19] Black carbon is three times more effective than carbon dioxide—the most common greenhouse gas—at melting polar ice and snow. [20]
