Cabbie molests woman fleet taxi driver, held



MUMBAI: A woman fleet cab driver was molested and assaulted in full public view, allegedly by a Cool Cab taxi driver, outside the domestic airport on Tuesday afternoon. The accused was later arrested.

The incident led to chaos at the taxi stand, with women employed with Viira Cabs alleging that some of the Cool Cab drivers even used abusive language and made lewd gestures at them.

Viira Cabs officials, however, claimed that the police were initially reluctant to register an FIR. "Tuesday's incident is unpardonable and I am insisting that an FIR be registered for outraging the modesty of a woman," said Preeti Sharma Menon, managing director of Viira Cabs. "Officers at the Airport police station were reluctant to register the FIR as they feared that it would lead to a law-and-order problem at the taxi stand. But I refused to budge."

Following the incident, a group of Cool Cab drivers went on a flash strike and blamed the Viira employees for the mess, but this did not affect passengers as the black-and-yellow taxis were available in full strength, sources said.

Around 2.30pm, a foreign national arrived at the airport by a domestic flight and wanted to catch a taxi. He first approached the Viira Cabs stand and enquired about the fares. Subsequently, he went to the Cool Cab stand to ask about the charges. "The foreigner was not able to decide which taxi to hire. At this stage, one of our women drivers went to him and asked if he had taken a decision. This enraged drivers at the Cool Cab stand, who told her to move away," said an official from Viira. "A driver also used abusive language, to which she objected. Suddenly, one of the drivers charged at the woman before molesting and assaulting her." The Cool Cab union denied the charges.

Additional commissioner of police (West) Vishwas Nangre-Patil said: "We have registered a molestation case against the taxi driver and arrested him in the case. We will take preventive action to ensure that such incidents do not recur."

World braves one of the worst summers; May temperature second hottest since 1880




NEW DELHI: It's not just India that is baking. Globally, this seems to be one of the worst summers in recorded history. The global average temperature for May was the second hottest ever since 1880 - the year records were first compiled -- US National Climatic Data Centre (NCDC) has said. Only 2010 witnessed a worse May.

The NCDC said such a hot May was never recorded in the northern hemisphere.

No scientist will pin it on human-induced climate change - it is scientifically untenable to do so - but many affirm that these extreme weather phenomena is along predicted lines of rise in global temperatures.

For India, the looming possibility of El Nino dulling the monsoon rains in July-August only means things could get worse. There is half a chance that the El Nino phenomenon will pick up intensity and hit the tail of the monsoon. Thirteen of the 20 times El Nino has been recorded, it has dimmed the intensity of the monsoon, causing widespread drought.

Already, the northwest region of India has suffered a rainfall deficit worse than the rest of India.

But the misery of rising heat is being felt worldwide with "normal weather" systems in disarray. If large areas of the western Himalayas in Uttarakhand have suffered raging forest fires, so has the US - more than 8 lakh hectares have been engulfed in flames. The March-May period for the US has been the hottest ever.

Brazil is in the midst of its worst drought in five decades with more than 1,000 towns suffering. Heavy downpours and unheard of hail has hit China and flash floods have ravaged crops in Ethiopia.

The Eurasian snow cover extent has been recorded at its smallest ever for the month of May since such records were maintained for the first time in 1967. The cover was 2.67 million sq km below average in May, the US NCDC said.

The southern hemisphere, where winters prevail at the moment, too has been recording extremes like never before. The Australian winter has been exceptionally cold, with the fifth coolest winter minimum temperature in over half a century of record keeping. The Antarctic sea ice extent has gone above the 1979-2000 average. In contrast, the Arctic sea ice recorded a much smaller than average extent for the same period.

The developed world is naturally better placed to adapt and manage in such extreme weather though even the resilience of societies with better financial and technological abilities has been tested. For developing countries such as India, the lack of resources to deploy in cases of emergency is too evident. Floods in Assam are normal, but the intensity this time, with early heavy rains, has left all the districts unprepared.

While paddy cultivators across the country may still have a window period to sow in time for the Kharif crop to be reasonably normal, poorer farmers growing coarse grains have already lost substantial part of the sowing period across the country.

The prediction of an overall 'normal monsoon' would not assuage people as the variation across the regions is bound to leave some states parched and others flooded. The regional variation shown by IMD notes that the greatest deficiency in rain has so far been in states of Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and other northwest hilly states. Northeastern states on the other hand are suffering inundation with several of them reporting rivers in spate well before usual time.

This US summer is ‘what global warming looks like’

Washington: If you want a glimpse of some of the worst of global warming, scientists suggest taking a look at US weather in recent weeks.
Horrendous wildfires. Oppressive heat waves. Devastating droughts. Flooding from giant deluges. And a powerful freak wind storm called a ‘derecho’.

Extreme heat spreads across US, breaks records

(Reuters) - Temperatures soared across the Midwest on Thursday, reaching a blistering 108 degrees Fahrenheit (42 Celsius) in St. Louis, and possibly causing two deaths in Kansas City, Missouri, as a massive heat wave pressed eastward from the Rockies.

so the globe warmed in 1880 ( height of industrial age and much more pollution than today, right

then surprisingly, globe decided to not warm up so it cooled. Then it got bored of getting cool so it heated up again and Lo and Behold, Global warming woke up!!!
