EDIT: I asked ChatGPT how much heat can that many people generate and it gave me this answer.
1.476 billion people at rest collectively generate ~147.6 GW of heat, which is an enormous amount of thermal energy. That could theoretically warm entire cities if trapped efficiently.
So it looks like it is both overpopulation and the environment trapping the heat.
You are correct. I had this conversation IRL with a nut-job Alarmist. He had some far-lot ideas! That was one of them.
Now, all those coal stations they've been building? If AGW Theory were true, that might have some effect? But as long as they have recorded weather, this sort of heat happens virtually every single year. Sometimes for weeks.
This isn't something you have to guess at. Just do the math.
2000 Cal per day is 96.85 W India's population: 1.475 x 10^9 India's area; 3.287 x 10^6 km^2 -> 3.2 x 10^2 m^2
Yeilds 0.0446 W/m^2 additional heat compared to the solar "constant" of 1,361 W/m^2. It's not the body heat.
I suck at math.

Then what is it?
