UN summit ends with pledges and lingering pessimism

UNITED NATIONS: US President Barack Obama called for greater urgency in the fight against the world’s social ills as a UN poverty summit ended with tens of billions of dollars of pledges but lingering pessimism about the impact.

Obama unveiled a new “big hearted” but “hard headed” US aid policy to push the poorest countries toward prosperity. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon launched a 40 billion dollar drive to save the lives of millions of women and children. Britain, China and Japan also promised more help.

But many leaders still accused wealthy nations of failing to keep their promises to provide assistance. Aid groups said millions would still die unnecessarily in the final five years of UN Millennium Development Goals (MDG) initiative launched in 2000.

Obama and the UN chief highlighted advances made to reduce poverty and disease, spread education and

Asia Pollution Circles The Globe In Stratosphere

WASHINGTON : Pollution from Asia’s booming economies rises into the stratosphere during the monsoon season then circles the world for years, according to a report out on Thursday.

A study by the Boulder, Colorado-based National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) said the strong air circulation patterns linked to Asia’s monsoon rainy season serves as a pathway for black carbon, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and other pollutants to rise into the stratosphere.

The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere located some 32 to 40 kilometers (20 to 25 miles) above the Earth’s surface.

“The monsoon is one of the most powerful atmospheric circulation systems on the planet, and it happens to form right over a heavily polluted region,” said NCAR scientist William Randel, the study’s lead author.

“As a result, the monsoon provides a pathway for transporting pollutants up to the stratosphere.”

Using satellite data and computer models, the scientists found that once the pollutants are in the stratosphere they circulate around the globe for several years.

“Some eventually descend back into the lower atmosphere, while others break apart,” read a statement on the study.

Researchers fear that the impact of Asian pollutants on the stratosphere may increase in next decades due to fierce industrial growth in countries like China and India.

Scientists however do not know the impact of climate change on the Asian monsoon, unsure if it will strengthen or weaken the monsoon’s vertical air movements.

The international study, published in the March 26 edition of the journal Science, was funded by the National Science Foundation together with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Canadian Space Agency.

No Evidence Indian’s Death Racially Motivated: Australia

SYDNEY : Australia on Tuesday said there was no evidence the murder of an Indian man in Melbourne was racially motivated, as it downplayed the impact of the killing on ties between the nations.

The death of 21-year-old Nitin Garg, who was stabbed fatally in the abdomen as he walked to work at a hamburger restaurant on Saturday night, follows a string of crimes against Indian nationals in Australia.

The murder has received wide press coverage in India, with one newspaper describing Garg’s death as proof “that the issue of racist attacks on the Indian community needs to be addressed by the Australian authorities.”

But Australia’s Acting Foreign Minister said while the murder was an emotional issue, there was nothing to suggest the killing was a race attack.

“It is an unfortunate — very unfortunate — circumstance, but the police have continued to reaffirm the fact that there is no evidence that this is a racially based attack,” Simon Crean told reporters.

The accounting graduate’s death prompted an angry response in India, with Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna describing the murder as a “crime on humanity” and saying it would “certainly” affect ties between the two countries.

But Crean, who is trade minister, said Australian officials had been in contact with the Indian High Commission in Canberra as he downplayed the impact on bilateral ties between the growing trading partners.

Asked whether the issue would hurt relations, Crean said: “I doubt very much that it will.”

In India, the Mail Today said Garg’s murder showed that Australian police needed to do more to stop violence against Indians.

“The police claim that it is too early to describe the attack as racist, but there are enough indicators that it is most likely to have been motivated by the victim’s national origins,” it said in an editorial.

The paper ran a cartoon depicting an Australian policeman wearing a pointed white hood associated with the US racist group the Ku Klux Klan. The officer was shown saying “We are yet to ascertain the nature of the crime.”
