•How has India warmed over the past 117 years?
•How the temperatures have increased seasonally?
•How far away we are from 1.5 degree C target?
Centre for Science and Environment
•How far away we are from 1.5 degree C target?
Methodology
•117 years (1901-1916) data on annual and seasonal mean, maximum & minimum temperature from IMD
Centre for Science and Environment
•1901-1930 average temperature considered as baseline
•Temperature anomaly calculated as departure from the baseline

dollars to meet its commitments
• False and wrong information• India had put out data of $2.5 trillion as total cost it would incur to meet its INDC.

would incur to meet its INDC.• It had never asked for this money from climate funds.
Fact: India receives very little finance from climate funds.
