Climate Change: Initiating the Dialogue
People get annoyed with me sometimes for constantly bringing up the vulnerability of wastewater treatment plants but what good is your house well above sea level if you can't poop in it? — Christina Toms (@ChristinaToms) February 21, 2019 I read this tweet today and couldn't help but think of Mumbai. I love the city, it's one of the best places to live in India, according to me. Many would argue that it's the best city in India, and I wouldn't argue much against that. Whenever I think of Mumbai, I think of the beautiful Marine Drive and the vast expanse of the Arabian Sea. And I invariably also end up remembering the city's vulnerability to floods. It's a saddening thought. Anyway, then I thought of all the other major coastal cities in the country and was surprised by how long the list was -- Surat. Panaji. Kochi. Trivandrum. Pondicherry. Chennai. Vizag. Puri. Even Kolkata, though not strictly a coastal city, is being affected. Scientist
