Main Body
Factors responsible for rapid warming: (1) Influence of Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). (2) El-Nino common oscillation (ENSO) has led to rise of Indian Ocean temperature. (3) melting of glaciers and hence
Marine - Feedback mechanism of cloud and algal. (4) Reflex in beams atton of littoral states and hence → urban heat islands. (5) Increased freshwater inflow and hence reduced surface heat of media. (6) Change in water-current circulation. (7) Carbon storage and sink. (8) Global warming due to industrial carbon. (9) Increased shipping capacity & hence effects. Multi-dimensional impact: (1) Migration and refugee crisis. (2) Charged in social calendar (p): festivals
