In this September 23, 2014 file photo, James Rylands, Auctioneer and Director of Summers Place Auctions, prepares the skeleton of an Ice Age woolly mammoth in London. The 5.5-meter-long skeleton made up of more than 150 bones lay in pieces for decades but was reassembled for display at an auction house in Billingshurst, southern England. Complete with curved tusks, it is thought to be from a male of the now extinct species, which may have weighed up to 6 tons in its lifetime, up to 50,000 years ago. A Summers Place spokesman said the fur-covered mammoth would have roamed the steppe stretching across Northern Eurasia and North America. The species has been extinct for around 10,000 years. The skeleton has been bought by a private buyer for 189,000 pounds ($300,000, €239.000) at an auction in London on Wednesday November 26, 2014. (Photo by Gareth Fuller/AP Photo/PA Wire)

In this Tuesday, November 25, 2014 photo, U.S. scientist Joshua Apte monitors pollution levels on his laptop as he travels in an open-aired auto-rickshaw during rush-hour traffic in New Delhi, India. Apte has alarming findings for anyone who spends time on or near the roads in this city of 25 million, with numbers far worse than the ones that have already led the World Health Organization to rank New Delhi as the world's most polluted city. Average pollution levels, depending on the pollutant, were 50 percent to 8 times higher on the road than urban background readings, including official ambient air pollution measures, according to research by Apte and his partners at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi.
