Paper warns 200 million Indians vulnerable
Northern India is warming less (and sometimes even cooling in winter) because of heavy pollution and irrigation, but this "cooling" isn't helping in the long run.
Rising temperatures still threaten millions: by 2030, up to 200 million people in the country could face dangerous heat levels, and only 8% of homes have air conditioning.
