Droughts in India to worsen with climate change -- study

So it not just me, lots of scientists are saying it too:
In a study published in the May 15 issue of the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate, Chul Eddy Chung and V. Ramanathan of Scripps Oceanography say that cooler-than-normal temperatures in the northern part of the Indian ocean have weakened the region's natural climate circulation and monsoon conditions, resulting in reduced rainfall over India and increased rainfall over the Sahel area south of the Sahara in Africa.

Indian Politician speak- Part 1 (What media forgot to highlight)

Is Sheila Dixit the new Marie Antoinette of Indian politics:
Marie Antoinette said: “Let them eat cake.”
Sheila Dixit on huge power cut has advised the people of Delhi for conservation of power.

Her brand of conservation is "Instead of running 4 air-conditioners run 2, and if possible run 1"

The fact is majority of Delhi homes are not fitted with A-Cs, the low-income and middle-income group can not afford it. Only the upper-middle class and the rich uses that.

My request to Delhi Chief Minister is "Please think before you open your mouth". The poor are dying in juggi-jopries (slum houses), if you can not mourn, if you can not help, please at least don't ridicule them.
