New Delhi: No study has so far supported the theory that global warming was causing natural calamities in the Himalayan region, parliament was told on Thursday.
"There is no study reported so far, which supports the fact that many type of instances similar to natural calamities are occurring in the Himalayan region due to global warming," Environment, Forests and Climate Change Minister Prakash Javadekar told the Rajya Sabha in a written reply.
