For general people, it is fun but for scientists it is a big question. Is it due to climate change and global warming?. The atmosphere is definitely getting warm due to infrastructural and industrial development but globe, Earth, itself is on the process of cooling. Hence, which effect is causing snow fall in Kathmandu?
