UN Secretary-General&nbsp;Ant&oacute;nio Guterres&nbsp;has said the planet is on a red alert as governments across the globe are failing to meet their climate change goals, and 2021 is a 'make or break year'.
The statement came during the release of a new report analysing&nbsp;the climate action plans submitted by 75 nations.&nbsp;It found that the current policies won't come close to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.&nbsp;

In what is being called a major medical breakthrough, a team of scientists in Bengaluru, have discovered a possible cure for Alzheimer's disease.
Scientists from the&nbsp;Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) in Jakkur, Bengaluru&nbsp;and an Indian-origin scientist at the&nbsp;KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, have developed a molecule called TGR63.
In animal studies, the molecule has shown the ability to disrupt the mechanism through which neurons become dysfunctional, leading to Alzheimer's.
It was effective in not only halting the disease but even reversing it. Mice with advanced stage of Alzheimer's showed improvement in thinking skills and memory within a span of a few days.&nbsp;Human trials of the molecule are the next step for the scientists.&nbsp;

'Over the coming weeks or months, the iceberg may move away; or it could run aground and remain close to Brunt Ice Shelf,' said the BAS&nbsp;Director.&nbsp;

Global rising temperatures and the melting of Arctic ice has forced polar bears to adopt a land-based diet. They have switched from&nbsp;hunting seals to catching fish, geese and even lemmings, Russian scientists said on the eve of International Polar Bear Day.&nbsp;
Additionally, the iconic bear species is now using four times more energy to survive because of major ice loss in the Arctic, found a separate study.&nbsp;
As global warming rises, the already endangered species with a global population of up to 30,000, faces an uncertain future.&nbsp;

Consuming a diet high in poor quality carbohydrates has many ill effects ranging from a higher risk of heart attacks to strokes, and even death finds a new study.&nbsp;
The global study discovered that higher risks of a diet high in poor quality carbs, called a high glycemic diet, were similar in both people who had previous cardiovascular disease and people who did not. White bread, rice, and potatoes have a high glycemic index.
In contrast, diets rich in high-quality carbohydrates such as fruit, vegetables, and legumes have beneficial effects, researchers noted publishing their findings in the&nbsp;New England Journal of Medicine.
