A | Rajinikanth’s Padayappa has pulled off a box office feat few could have predicted. The 1999 blockbuster, which returned to theatres as part of its 25 year anniversary celebrations, has crossed Rs 12 crore worldwide in its opening weekend, emerging as one of the highest grossing re-releases in Indian cinema.According to trade tracker Sacnilk, the film opened to an estimated Rs 4 crore worldwide on its first day. Instead of following the usual re-release pattern of sharp drops after day one, Padayappa showed steady growth across Saturday and Sunday, pushing its total weekend gross into double digits. Tamil Nadu led the charge, supported by strong collections from overseas markets with sizeable Tamil audiences.The numbers place Padayappa among the most successful re-releases in recent years, an achievement that underlines both Rajinikanth’s enduring star power and the film’s lasting connect with audiences.Nostalgia fuels a rare re-release runTrade analysts attribute the strong performance to a combination of nostalgia and theatrical appeal. Padayappa has long enjoyed repeated television telecasts and streaming viewership, yet the big screen experience appears to have drawn audiences in large numbers. Many theatres reported near full occupancy during evening and weekend shows, driven by fans revisiting a film that defined an era. The film’s sustained run is particularly noteworthy because re-releases typically depend heavily on opening day curiosity. In this case, repeat footfalls and strong word of mouth helped Padayappa buck the trend. Younger viewers, who knew the film largely through pop culture references and social media clips, also turned up in significant numbers, contributing to the growing collections over the weekend.Originally released in 1999, Padayappa went on to become the highest grossing Tamil film of its time. Its re-release success reinforces its standing as one of Tamil cinema’s most influential commercial films.The legacy of Padayappa and NeelambariDirected by KS Ravikumar and produced by Rajinikanth under his Arunachala Cine Creations banner, Padayappa featured an ensemble cast that included Sivaji Ganesan, Soundarya, Ramya Krishnan, Radha Ravi, Nassar, Manivannan and Abbas. The film blended family drama with spectacle, anchored by Rajinikanth’s commanding performance.Ramya Krishnan’s portrayal of Neelambari remains a cultural milestone. The character’s pride, rage and emotional volatility continue to resonate, often cited among the most iconic antagonists in Indian cinema. Adding to the renewed interest around the film, Rajinikanth recently revealed that he has discussed the possibility of a sequel told from Neelambari’s perspective, exploring her belief that she was wronged and her desire for revenge. AR Rahman’s soundtrack also remains a key element of the film’s appeal, with its songs continuing to receive thunderous responses during the re-release screenings.As Padayappa continues its victorious return, its box office performance stands as proof that some films do more than age gracefully. They reclaim the spotlight when given another chance on the big screen.Also Read: Padayappa Returns: Why Rajinikanth’s Titan of a Film Still Roars。 资料图根据倡导碳捕集与封存(CCS)的智囊团Global CCS Institute的一份新报告，在全球范围内，捕集和封存加热地球的二氧化碳的能力在过去12个月内增长了44%。这包括从最臭名昭著的污染源的烟囱排放中清除二氧化碳的项目：发电厂、天然气加工厂、炼油厂、氢气生产商、水泥和钢铁厂以及石化和合成肥料制造商。现在，只有30个CCS设施在运行，11个正在建设。但根据全球CCS研究所的数据，还有153个碳捕集与封存项目正在开发中。在全球196个在建项目中，仅在2022年就有61个新项目开始实施。纵观报告中列出的2022年正在运行或正在建设的CCS设施，The Verge发现，大多数项目都跟石油和天然气纠缠在一起。约60%的项目是由化石燃料公司和/或旨在捕获来自化石燃料发电厂、石油化工设施以及跟化石燃料相关的工业化肥和氢气生产等主要气体消费行业的排放。
B | 其中30个设施已经使用或计划使用捕获的碳来进行一种叫做强化采油的过程，在这种过程中，化石燃料公司将二氧化碳射入地下以推高难以到达的石油。有了这些数字，难怪一些环保组织对碳捕集作为一种气候解决方案持怀疑态度。许多人担心该技术只会加深经济对化石燃料的依赖，而不是帮助迎来一个更清洁能源的时代。像这些团体称碳捕集技术不是化石燃料的万能药有几个原因：首先，它通常不能百分之百地捕获像工业工厂这样的污染源产生的二氧化碳。如在路易斯安那州最大的工业温室气体排放源--一家合成氨厂建造碳捕集设施的计划，在完成后应该每年捕集200万公吨的二氧化碳--尽管该厂在一年中产生了1000万公吨的温室气体。
C | 而这只是把二氧化碳考虑在内。氨厂还位于路易斯安那州的“癌症巷”中，这是一条85英里的“化学走廊”，上面布满了炼油厂和石化厂，这些工厂排放的空气污染物与该州较高的癌症发病率有关。非营利组织Center for International Environmental Law的总裁兼CEO Carroll Muffett上周在路易斯安那州的项目宣布后对The Verge说：“像这样的项目是一个大规模的环保工具。”使用像太阳能和风能这样的可再生能源--而不是把煤炭、石油和天然气与碳捕获作为一种绷带--可以防止使地球变热和毒害社区的污染。可以肯定的是，碳捕集作为最后的努力对那些不能轻易使用太阳能和风能来点燃火炉的行业的去碳化带来一些乐观的看法。
D | 还有其他一些努力用来消除我们在历史上直接泵入大气的一些二氧化碳排放--其中一些已经开始从化石燃料行业中脱离出来。但这些用于碳捕集和清除的用途仍然只占正在进行的碳捕集项目的较小部分。目前看来，碳捕集技术主要是帮助化石燃料在我们的能源经济中保持其立足点--甚至是在努力清理尤其造成的混乱。
