             abstract = "Recent studies showed that the Himalayan glaciers are reducing 
                         alarmingly. This is attributed 20 to global warming. Since the 
                         melt water of Himalayan glaciers and snow is the principal 21 
                         source of water for several rivers, a decrease of this source is a 
                         calamity for the large fraction 22 of global population living in 
                         nearby regions such as India. In Asia for the 60% global 23 
                         population only 36% of global water is available. Any further 
                         decrease of this vital necessity 24 makes the very existence of 
                         billions of people doubtful. Here we show, using both 25 
                         observations and one IPCC-AR4 model with high horizontal 
                         resolution, that the Himalayan 26 region in fact underwent a 
                         maximum warming of 2.5ºC from 1950 to 1999 and would reach 27 the 
                         highest temperature rise of 9ºC in 2100. Temperature and rainfall 
                         variations determine a 28 simple climate classification proposed 
                         by K{\"o}ppen. We show changes that occur in climate 29 and 
                         biosphere using this classification. Also we discussed the impact 
                         of warming and 30 resulting changes in K{\"o}ppen climates on the 
                         floods and malaria in India.",
