Australia is considering restricting social media for younger users and is planning an age verification trial. The proposed age limit for social media access is expected to be between 14 and 16.

Should India adopt similar measures, given the increasing concerns about online child grooming on platforms like Instagram and Facebook and the rising societal issues related to this?

How we discovered a new type of wood - and how it could help fight climate change
https://theconversation.com/how-we-discovered-a-new-type-of-wood-and-how-it-could-help-fight-climate-change-236618

Midwood Classification:
A new wood type called "midwood" was identified, which has macrofibrils between those of hardwoods and softwoods.

Carbon Sequestration:
Tulip trees (Liriodendron tulipifera) can store two to six times more carbon than other species, enhancing their role in climate change mitigation.

Climate Change Implications:
Planting tulip trees could significantly aid carbon capture efforts, making them valuable for environmental conservation.

Research Techniques:
Advanced imaging methods (cryo-SEM) were used to study the wood's structure and its evolutionary adaptations.

🌽 Cultivating maize on drained peatlands for biomethane production emits three times more CO₂ than the emissions avoided by not using natural gas.

⚗🧪The carbon released from drained peatlands during cultivation outweighs the benefits of using biomethane as a renewable energy source.

🔋🪫The growing proportion of drained peat soils dedicated to bioenergy rather than food production is a concern.

🥃First-generation biofuels can reduce GHG emissions by 20-60%,while
🍺second-generation biofuels can achieve reductions of 70-90%,
excluding land-use change effects. However, some biofuels may emit more GHGs than fossil fuels due to the energy-intensive processes involved.
