Global warming could come in the way of India realising its ambition of becoming a chip-making hub

The researchers deployed explainable artificial intelligence to show that changes in daily precipitation variations were gradually intensifying upon weather timescales, in contrast to typical studies, which largely focus on long-term trends in monthly or annual precipitation.

They have revealed a major change in the properties of worldwide daily precipitation using a deep learning approach. The results of their study were released in the academic journal Nature.

In the last few weeks, planet Earth has experienced record-breaking extreme weather conditions.

Wayward weather events come as a compelling reminder that India is ill-equipped to tackle many of its effects

For India, the dangers are far too grave. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) […]

Blurb: The UN says farming produces 40% of human-caused emissions. Alternative animal feeds to reduce methane from livestock, shifting towards plant-based diets and draining rice paddy fields will all help. Methane is 84 times more potent at trapping heat than carbon dioxide in the short term, so reducing methane is the fastest way to limit […]

As the world leaders gather at Scotland’s Glasgow for the United Nations Climate Change Conference—COP26 (Conference of the Parties), the key question that needs to be asked is whether the principle of equality and level playing field is being applied in the case of global climate crisis. The principles of fair play demand that the […]

In many places, big cats prey on livestock as an easy source of food, causing problems with ranchers who moving into cat territories. Often these ranchers will hunt the cats to protect their livestock, which in many places is the only source of income for people.
