2009Aug17: Bittu Sahgal, a leading environmentalist and the editor of Sanctuary Magazine: “Climate change involves a shuddering of the weather thermostat. More rain in one place, less in another. The problem is unpredictability. Mumbai’s rains this year were delayed but the city has been on alert for floods” (New York Times, 2009). Mr. Sahgal was interviewed for the article by New York Times journalist, Reenita Malhotra Hora.
