The warming of the Himalayas will limit the water storage capacity

                        (Himalaya Snow)

The Alarming challenge of growing temperature affects the general lives of all human beings all over the world, as the ‘Third Pole’. As Nepal has a biodiversity in various facts as follows: The Himalayas and its burning climatic concerns drew world attention at the latest round, as the Katmandu headquartered International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) released reports pointing at the dire consequences of the impact of climate change on the highest elevations on the earth. The reports said that warming of the Himalayas will limit the water storage capacity of the vast expanse of the snow and ice mass, heightening the risks of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOF).

As warming increases, tree line and animal species move to higher elevations. Strange things are happening in the mountains - mosquitoes have appeared in places where they could never be found in the past. People have reported to have spotted cobra in mid hills while some trekkers were surprised to sight flies in the altitude as high as Everest Base camp, a location at 5,300 meters. The reports said that species already living at highest elevation may have nowhere to go.

However, this change is not evenly distributed. Rate of warming is found to be much greater in the central Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau. In Lhasa, for example, temperatures were found to have increased by 1.35° Celsius between 1950 and 1980. Mass losses from glaciers and accelerated thinning of the snow cover are expected to reduce water supplies and hydropower potential," said the climate change assessment of the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region extending from Afghanistan to Bhutan.

The Hindu Kush-Himalaya region has been described as one of the hotspots in respect to the global warming and climate change. Temperature rises are observed to be at greater rates at higher altitude and during cooler months than in warmer months and warmer regions. This imbalance will eventually narrow the seasonal variation in temperature. This will turn out to be more favorable for some species while proving hostile to others. As a result, agriculture will be directly impacted, the ICIMOD reports said.Warming across the Himalayan region is higher than the global average of ICIMOD 0.74° Celsius over the past 100 year

Fortune telling animal: Octopus

Octopuses live in oceans and seas all over the world. Some species of octopus live in shallow water while others live in the deepest parts of the ocean at depths up to 5,000 m. Most species stay close to the seafloor. One of the smallest species is the California Lilliput octopus, which measures about 2 cm across, or about the width of a bottle cap. The common octopus is a medium-sized octopus. A typical size is about 50 cm, or roughly the size of a large pizza. One of the largest, the giant Pacific octopus, can grow to a whopping 9 m. It’s so big that with its arms stretched wide it would barely fit into a two-car garage.

They can learn new tasks and later remember what they learned. That’s something that even we humans sometimes find challenging and find out our fortune.

Their ancestor had a shell and looked something like a snail. A type of animal that has a soft body and usually lives inside a hard shell. Most mollusks live in water. Today, there are 289 species of octopus. None of them has a shell. The largest variety of octopus species is found in waters near Australia.

Pranab Mukherjee will arrive here on November 27. Matters relating to strengthening of trade relations and expansion of bilateral economic cooperation will figure during Mukherjee's high-level talks with the Nepalese leadership. India and Nepal will sign the key Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) during Finance Minister Mukherjee's visit here next week which will create better investment climate for Indian businesses in this country. Nepal and India will sign the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) during Mukherjee's one-day visit to Nepal, according to Foreign Ministry sources here. The bill, which embodies modern trade principles, will enable Indian investors and traders to enjoy tax relaxation in India once they pay taxes in Nepal. During Nepalese Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai's recent visit to India, the two countries had signed the BIPPA (Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement) to attract more Indian investments in Nepal. During the visit the two sides were supposed to sign the DTAA, which was postponed due to some technical reasons. The agreement will boost the confidence of the investors and would help Nepal to attract more investments from India, according to experts. Nepal government has sorted out differences on the text of some of the articles of the agreement making it at par with that of India. The Nepalese cabinet this week endorsed the revised texts of the agreement.
