Unused natural gas behind NYC

Methane emissions from the New York City metropolitan area are largely driven by natural gas use, according to a new study published today in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics by researchers at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, part of the Columbia Climate School. The findings may offer cities an overlooked pathway for reducing methane emissions while potentially saving consumers millions of dollars lost to wasted natural gas.

Himachal varsity develops climate-smart direct-seeded rice variety

Digital Desk | Palampur, Sep 14 (IANS) Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya (CSKHPKV) and Savannah Seeds, a leader in rice seed technology, on Monday announced results from a multi-year study showing that direct-seeded SAVA-134 FullPage can help make rice production more climate-smart and resource efficient. Compared with conventional transplanted rice systems, the approach reduced methane emissions by nearly 90 per cent, delivered the highest water productivity, improved soil health, and showed the greatest potential for carbon credit generation. The study, Popularisation of direct-seeded rice technology for climate change adaptation by reducing GHG emissions and acquiring carbon credit, was conducted in two major rice-growing regions of Himachal Pradesh. SAVA-134 FullPage is the commercial name of a rice variety that enables farmers to plant seeds directly into the ground like wheat, instead of growing them in watery mud nurseries and moving them by hand. Led by Dr Dhanbir Singh, Assistant Soil Chemist, Department of Soil Science, CSKHPKV, and supported by Savannah Seeds, the research compared conventional transplanted rice with direct-seeded rice across multiple growing seasons. The assessment focused on yield, water use, GHG emissions, and soil health. Among the direct-seeded treatments evaluated, SAVA-134 delivered the strongest overall balance of productivity, resource efficiency, and environmental sustainability. It maintained strong yields while using fewer resources and generating a significantly smaller carbon footprint. Rice is the worlds most important food crop, grown on more than 164 million hectares (405 million acres) and serving as a primary source of energy for more than half of the global population. Asia produces about 90 per cent of the worlds rice, much of it through transplanted systems that require flooded fields, intensive labour, and large volumes of water. These practices also contribute significantly to methane emissions. As farmers face rising pressure from labour shortages, water scarcity, production costs, and climate change, more sustainable rice production methods are increasingly important. Our goal was to evaluate practical solutions that can help farmers improve productivity while reducing environmental impact, said Dr Dhanbir Singh. The results demonstrate that direct-seeded rice can play an important role in advancing more climate-smart and resource-efficient rice production systems. This study is a strong example of a public-private partnership working to develop climate-resilient and sustainable farming practices, said Dr Vinod Sharma, Director of Research, CSKHPKV.

Nagma on co-actor Sanjay Dutts Marathi row: I dont think we should say anything on freedom of speech

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) Veteran actress Nagma has shared her perspective on the ongoing discussion surrounding actor Sanjay Dutts recent remarks about not knowing Marathi despite having spent several years in Maharashtra. Reflecting on her own experience, she said she learned Marathi in school and also spoke the language with people around her. The Suhaag actress explained that learning or speaking a particular language depends on an individuals circumstances and what they feel is necessary. Nagma told IANS, When we were in school, a language was added to the curriculum. That's why we had to learn Marathi while living in Maharashtra. We were taught in school. My mother is also from Maharashtra. That's why I know Marathi. My house help was also from Maharashtra, and so we used to talk to her in Marathi. I have also made a Marathi film. I don't think we should say anything on freedom of speech. Her remarks come after Sanjay Dutt found himself at the centre of a controversy following his refusal to speak in Marathi at a recent Dahi Handi event in Thane. Dutt, who was a guest at the event organized by the Shiv Sena, began addressing the gathering in Hindi. When Shiv Sena leader Pratap Sarnaik requested him to speak in Marathi, the actor reportedly laughed and declined, saying, I spent 6 years in Yerwada Jail, but still I could not learn Marathi. The actors comment request to speak Marathi subsequently sparked discussion on social media and among political circles. Sanjay Dutts comment and his refusal to speak in Marathi subsequently sparked discussion on social media and among political circles. Nagma and Sanjay Dutt have shared the screen in several Hindi films over the years. The duo first appeared together in Feroz Khans action drama Yalgaar (1992), in which Dutt played Vishal Singhal and Nagma portrayed his wife, Anu Singhal. Their romantic song Aakhir Tumhein Aana Hai went on to become popular. They later reunited for David Dhawans romantic comedy Chal Mere Bhai (2000). In the movie, Nagma made a special guest appearance as Sonia.
