 "India may face deadly heat waves within decades: Study")
Nearly 1.5 billion people in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are likely to face deadly heat waves within the next few decades due to climate change, exposing them to unsurvivable temperatures and widespread food crisis, an MIT study has warned.
Scientists predicted that by the end of this century climate change could lead to severe summer heat waves in South Asia, a region of deep poverty where one-fifth of the world's population resides.
There is still time to avert such severe warming if measures are implemented now to reduce the most dire consequences of global warming, researchers said.
