India's slower warming may be a mirage, scientists warn

Original: India's slower warming may be a mirage, with pollution particles and clouds masking the heat

New reporting suggests India has warmed more slowly than many regions, but researchers caution this apparent slower warming may be deceptive. Pollution particles and cloud cover are believed to be masking the true extent of heat buildup across the country, meaning underlying warming could be far greater than surface temperature records indicate, with potentially serious implications for India's climate future.

Why now: Fresh reporting on the idea that air pollution and clouds are hiding India's true warming is drawing attention to the country's climate trajectory.
