India may face deadly heat waves by 2100: Study
Nearly 1.5 billion people in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are likely to face deadly heat waves by the end of this century, an MIT study warns. Climate change could cause 70% of India's population to face extremes of 32ÂºC wet-bulb temperatures and about 2% could face the survival limit of 35ÂºC. Such humidity-related temperatures have rarely exceeded 31ÂºC on Earth.
