The landslides were the latest in a series of weather-related calamities in India
NEW DELHI - Heavy rain made about 10% stronger by human-caused climate change triggered the landslides that killed more than 200 people in India's southern state of Kerala last month, a team of international scientists has concluded.
Kerala's Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had blamed unexpectedly heavy rainfall for the casualties, saying the region received 572 millimetres of rain over the preceding 48 hours, more than double the 204 millimetres forecast. Minimising deforestation and quarrying, reinforcing susceptible slopes, and building retaining structures to protect vulnerable areas were some of the other measures it recommended to prevent similar disasters in future.
