In a blunt warning to rich nations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday told developed countries which powered their way to prosperity on fossil fuels that it would be "morally wrong" if they shift the burden of reducing emissions on developing countries like India.
"The principle of common but differentiated responsibilities should be the bedrock of our collective enterprise. Anything else would be morally wrong," he wrote in the Opinion section of today's 'Financial Times'.
He asked the developed nations to fulfil their duty to shoulder the greater burden of the fight against climate change.

Internet technology 100 times faster than Wi-Fi? You better believe it!
LiFi, a wireless technology invented in Scotland by scientist Harald Haas back in 2011 has been tested successfully in the real world for the first time. It was tested by Velmenni, an Estonian start-up, who are currently trialling it in their offices. It's an alternative technology to WiFi and can send data up to 1GBps, which is 100 times faster than the present. Essentially, by flickering an LED light at extremely high speeds, one can transmit more data than a cellular tower. Within the labs, scientists have been able to achieve speeds of 224 GBps!

Words can deceive, but tone of voice cannot as a new study has suggested that voice tone analyses of therapy sessions can accurately predict marital success.
A new computer algorithm can predict whether you and your spouse will have an improved or worsened relationship based on the tone of voice that you use when speaking to each other with nearly 79 percent accuracy.
In fact, the algorithm did a better job of predicting marital success of couples with serious marital issues than descriptions of the therapy sessions provided by relationship experts.

An organism from 555 million years ago has shown that Earth's first ecosystems were more complex than previously believed.
Computer simulations have allowed scientists to work out how the puzzling organism with no known modern relatives fed, revealing that some of the first large, complex organisms on Earth formed ecosystems that were very complex.
The international team of researchers from Canada, the UK and the USA, including Dr Imran Rahman from the University of Bristol, UK studied fossils of an extinct organism called Tribrachidium, which lived in the oceans some 555 million years ago.

It's official and comes just when the Paris climate summit is around the corner. The World Meteorological Organization, a United Nations weather agency, has come out with a report that says, the period between 2011 & 2015 is the hottest five-year period ever recorded. The report suggests that greenhouse gases released because of increased human industrial activity are likely the "dominant cause" of such excessive warming of the planet. It also warns that temperatures will reach the milestone of 1 degree Celsius over the pre-industrial era.
Scientists seek to harvest electricity from algae in green-energy effort
Photo: AFP
Scientists have made progress in electricity harnessing from algae in what could be a massive breakthrough in green-energy technology in an effort to combat climate change. The power cells use a blue-green algae known as cyanobacteria. It's able to survive across a broad range of conditions and different locations found on Earth. It essentially utiilises the process of photosynthesis by algae.
During photosynthesis, algae naturally creates electrons, and metal probes that are stuck into the plant can capture that very energy and transfer it into electricity for batteries.
