I’m also worried about the Indian subcontinent, a region with boatloads of people and whose near-equatorial location will generate a different sort of wind condition. Rising temperatures in the Indian Ocean mean the temperature differential between sea and land is shrinking. Less temperature variation means less intense winds, which means that the century-old and very well documented weakening of the monsoonal winds will continue. This weakening has already reduced rainfall on the subcontinent by 10–20 percent over the last century.
