The study conducted by TCD at the University of Chicago says continued high emission of greenhouse gases are projected to lead to a 4-degree Celsius rise in average temperatures by 2100 in India. It also said that the spike in avg summer temperatures & the number of extremely hot days has an impact on mortality.
