0.05C: Indias global warming share trails US & China, but the heat is on

India's contribution to global warming is less than major emitters like the US and China. Research shows India's warming contribution has significantly increased after 1990. Carbon dioxide from fossil fuels drives most of India's emissions. Agriculture contributes significantly through methane and nitrous oxide gases. India faces severe consequences despite its lower warming contribution.

Thane teen with 95.7 pc marks ends life after failing to get entry into college of choice

Thane, Sep 08: A 17yearold student, who had scored 95.7 per cent marks in his Class 12 science exams, allegedly died by suicide in Maharashtra's Thane city after failing to secure admission to his preferred higher education institute, police said. The boy, whose family resided in an upscale housing complex in Hiranandani Estate on Ghodbunder Road, sent a message to his family's WhatsApp group stating his intention to end his life. However, before anyone could intervene, the boy jumped to his death from the 22nd-floor refuge area of a residential building on September 4 evening, the police said on Monday. According to police, the boy's family suspects no foul play, attributing the extreme step entirely to academic distress. The teenager recently passed his Class 12 science exams with a score of 95.7 per cent and aspired to pursue a BS-MS dual degree at the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur (Kolkata), the police said. However, he fell short of securing a seat after ranking 10,474 in the aptitude test. His disappointment deepened after failing to secure admission in the reputed institute, they said. According to police, the teenager left his residence around 7.30 pm on September 4, telling his family he was going for cycling. At around 8.15 pm, he sent a message to his family's WhatsApp group stating his intention to end his life. Upon seeing the message and finding his phone switched off, his family immediately alerted the Kasarvadavali police. The police and family members rushed to search the locality and found the teenager lying severely injured on a pavement near his apartment. He was rushed to the Civil Hospital in Thane, where doctors declared him dead on arrival, the police said. An accidental death report (ADR) has been registered based on a statement given by the deceased's father.

UNEP says investing in climate action, air quality to boost economic prosperity

Digital Desk | Nairobi, Sep 7 (IANS) Investments in climate action and air pollution control are key to driving economic prosperity and improving ecosystem and human health, according to a report released by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, on Monday. The report, titled Hidden Assets: The economic and health case for climate and clean air action, was released on the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies, which is observed annually on September 7. Compiled by UNEP and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, the report is the first comprehensive global economic assessment of integrated climate and clean-air action, Xinhua News Agency reported. The study demonstrates a significant return on investment, showing that every 1 US dollar allocated toward climate and air pollution solutions generates approximately 15 dollars in economic returns, alongside substantial reductions in pollution-linked mortality and medical expenses. UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen underscored that carbon neutrality and air quality are foundational to global development, public health, energy and food security, and environmental stability. Andersen emphasised that strong leadership from both the public and financial sectors, coupled with effective policy frameworks and technological innovation, is critical to curbing climate-warming emissions and improving global air quality. To operationalise these goals, the report recommends 25 specific interventions that span six sectors: energy and fossil fuel systems, industry, transport, agriculture and food systems, residential cooking and heating, and waste management. It combines both long-term decarbonisation measures and measures that target super pollutants such as methane, black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons. Should the 25 solutions be implemented, annual economic benefits would reach around 2.8 per cent of global GDP by 2035, 4.5 per cent by 2050 and 11.4 per cent by 2100. Market returns exceed implementation costs within 10 years, according to the report. In addition, the 25 measures could avoid an estimated 0.34 degrees Celsius of global warming by 2050 and 1.4 degrees Celsius by 2100, the report says. The 25 measures will also avert 144 million air pollution-related premature deaths alongside millions of cases of chronic disease by 2050, according to the report.

Its a set of rollerblade wheels. For my office chair. Really! We all just sort of accept that our office chair wheels are the way they are. Those little double-wheel plastic or hard rubberized (if youre lucky) casters that swivel and scratch and make noise. They dont roll well over carpet, and theres an entire commodity industry selling ugly sheets of thick plastic to put under your office chair so they dont mess up your hard floors. It doesnt have to be that way. I dont even remember where I saw it recommended, but several years ago someone pointed me to a company that takes rollerblade wheels and puts them on office chair casters. Proper bearings, sturdier construction, and smooth polyurethane that rolls easily over carpet and doesnt scratch up your floor. The brand is The Office Oasis (there are lots of cheap knockoffs, but these are the original), and its only about $40 for a set of 5 casters in a variety of colors. Installing them is trivialoffice chair casters are designed to simply pull off and pop on without tools. I took a chance and couldnt believe the difference. My chair glided so easily that when I put it on a section of floor that was just a little bit uneven, it just started rolling on its own. Theyre whisper-quiet, too. You dont realize regular office chair wheels are noisy until you get some that arent. And now my chair doesnt need a big plastic sheet to protect my tile floor. @macworld.com The best $40 office upgrade I ever made original sound Macworld Macworld The wheels also made my office chair just a tiny bit higherabout half an inchwhich is a nice little bonus for a tall guy like me that usually has my chair extended up as high as it will go. This isnt a sponsored post (though we do earn affiliate revenue if any purchase is made leading from our site). The Office Oasis has never been in contact with anyone here at all. I have used these wheels on my office chair for several years after purchasing them myself, and I just love them. Its one of those things you use all day every day and forget how great they are until you sit in an office chair without them and instantly regret it. Spending $40 on a product that has made my life just a tiny bit better all day every day for years is a no-brainer.
