Fact 1: India could reach 122 degrees Fahrenheit due to global warming.
Sources 1: http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/india-news/northeastern-india-may-sizzle-at-50-degree-celsius-by-end-of-21st-century_10083387.html The sourse has information from Scientists from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute so the source is credible. They use a statistical method to suggest that by the end of this century, temperatures may reach 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees F) in northeastern India. I believe the source because I think global warming is continually making Earth hotter and hotter.
Source 2: http://www.onthebrink.org/evidencewea.html The source has information from a movie team called On The Brink (read to find out more). I believe it is a credible source because of all the school degrees and studies the team completed. The article tells us that the increased heat waves are due to doubling CO2 levels expected in the future from industry. It also said this is what will cause India to rise in heat. I believe the source because CO2 traps a lot of heat, which is what global warming is.
Source 3: http://climateprogress.org/2008/07/31/when-can-we-expect-extremely-high-surface-temperatures/ The source has information from The New York Times which makes me uneasy about whether or not it's credible. The source tells us that "extremes rise faster then the means in a warming climate." It also says that these extreme temperatures would be threatening to many countries, like India and possible allow it to reach 122 degrees F. I agree with this source, however, I can't fully belive it because I don't know how credible it is.
