India climate chief attacks Western 'hypocrites'

Britain and other 'hypocritical' Western countries must sacrifice some luxuries before asking developing countries to cut their greenhouse gas emissions, India's climate change envoy has told The Daily Telegraph.

Any further measures demanded by developed countries would be taken only if full funding and technological support was provided
