Which year is associated with the peak increase in heat-related mortality projected for Metropolitan New York City?

2050s
1990s
2020s
2100s

The correct answer is: 2050s

The peak increase in heat-related mortality for Metropolitan New York City is projected to occur in the 2050s. This is due to the combined effects of climate change, urbanization, and aging population. Option B, the 1990s, is incorrect because climate change and urbanization were not as significant factors back then. Option C, the 2020s, is also incorrect because while the effects of climate change are increasing, the peak is projected to occur later in the century. Option D, the 2100s, is also incorrect because the projected peak is expected to occur earlier, in the 2050s.
