This feuilleton explores the new challenges facing a verdant tempestuous coast ' that of the Malabar region of South India. Caught between the Annamalai Hills and the Arabian Sea, the Malabar Coast is facing unprecedented water surge from both the mountains and the ocean. August 2018 was a catastrophic period of massive overflow of water from Kerala's 80 dams during the monsoons. The tragedy of climate change is that the regions with the lowest carbon footprint are experiencing some of the worst impacts of climate distortions.this is one small story in that rising roster of impending urgencies of rising oceans around the world
