Starting Saturday midnight, Pakistan will go 30 minutes ahead of India instead of the usual half hour behind. With Pakistan introducing daylight saving time (DST) from Sunday as a power-saving measure, India is set to have one country to its west that will be ahead in time. The anomalous situation will last three months, as DST will remain in force until August 31.

This paper contains detailed discussions on climate change strategies. It looks at climate change related issues in several sectors including forestry, energy (biofuels), waste management, and groundwater, as well as key institutional and industry developments in response to climate change challenges. The paper summarises current policy responses from around the Asia-Pacific region and attempts to sort effective climate change policy from non-effective policy.
The G8 climate scorecards provide a comparable snapshot of the current situation across the G8 countries as well as the five major developing countries. They provide recent and expected emission developments of each country and various other indicators. The scorecards also provide an overview of the most important activities by the governments to respond to the threat of climate change.
Energy policies are in transition worldwide based on a convergence of factors including static oil production coupled with increased demand, a desire for energy independence, and growing awareness of climate change. Making energy choices that improve human health, the environment, and economic development is possible if we understand the complex interplay between systems for energy delivery and sustainable, healthy human environments.

But ask him what he's focused on now and you won't hear venture-capital buzz-phrases such as "Web 2.0". These days, Doerr is firmly focused on clean technology - and in particular, energy technologies that can save the planet from global warming.
There are various reasons behind shortage of power including unmindful consumption of energy. Therefore, it is the crying need of the hour and responsibility of everyone to save power. Most of the sources of power generation are dependent on nature's bounty and it is difficult to guess as to what would happen to these sources in the face of increasing global warming and shortage of water and coal in future.
