The much awaited draft text on climate change talks has been released in Paris, after nearly two weeks of intensive negotiations.
It mentions CBDR but "in light of different national circumstances". Nations have set an aim of keeping temperatures below 1.5C. This is a much tougher ambition than the 2C that nearly 200 governments agreed for the first time, six years ago in Copenhagen.
It has been made mandatory for rich nations to assist developing nations. Others like India can contribute "voluntarily" only. Victory for India.
Nations have also agreed on a five year review of how countries are doing on their climate plans, with the first happening in 2023. However , there is no mention on phasing out fossil fuels by 2050 (it was in the previous draft).

Is it a turd? Is it a pain? It IS Donald Trump! The Internet now has a new punching bag, rightly so, and a lot of companies are being vocal about their dislike in innovative ways. Google Chrome has just released a new extension for its browser that replaces "Donald Trump" with "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." The creator of the extension, Sarah Xiyi Chen, has named it, suitably, the Trump2Voldemort extension. Recently, other such digital jabs have also been directed at Trump. An iOs app named "Trump Trump," was developed recently by furtiv. It removes news mentions of Trump from a user's feed, though it only works on Safari for now.
