As scientists noted, soon part of South Asia will become uninhabitable. This process will gain strength at the end of this century. The most abnormal temperatures threaten densely populated agricultural regions in the Ganges and Indus river basins (in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh), reports sundaynews.
As noted, now in the risk zone live about 1. 5 billion people. It is reported that now only 2% of the population of India live in areas where high temperatures and humidity are observed.
Moreover, scientists do not rule out the possibility that soon the above figure could grow to 70% unless attempts are made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
