'Climate change may kill 1.3L in India in 2050'
Climate change could kill over 1.3 lakh people in India in 2050 due to changes in diet pattern and bodyweight from reduced crop productivity, as per British medical journal The Lancet. The study states the possibility of nearly 5.29 lakh extra deaths globally in the same year. It further predicts three-quarters of climate-related deaths to occur in China and India.
