This melting reality isn’t about hot fries — it’s about a hotter planet. Recently, the US government rolled back an important rule that curbed greenhouse gas pollution. This rule helped control emissions from cars and industries. Without it, more heat-trapping gases could be released, making Earth warm even faster. Just like this melting “M,” our clean air and comfortable climate can also slip away if big industries pollute unchecked. The message: When protections for the planet disappear, everyone’s future is at risk.

IPCC’s* sixth assessment report (AR6) has bad news for the future. The warming beyond 1.5°C or 2°C will be breached much earlier. Average global temperatures will continue to rise and could increase by 5.7 °C by the end of this century compared to 1850–1900.Consequently, the land surface will continue to warm more than the ocean surface. The Arctic will continue to warm more than global surface temperature. Extreme changes become larger with every addition to global warming.
In 1883, Anak Krakatau volcano erupted and spewed large amounts of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. This brought down the global average temperature by 1.2°C. Anak Krakatau, which in the Indonesian language means the “Child of Krakatau”, in the Lampung province is one of the world’s most famous volcanoes. On April 11, 2020, it erupted. The first eruption, which lasted for one minute and 12 seconds, took place at 9:58 pm, according to the Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation’s (PVMBG) magma volcanic activity report.It spewed out ash and smoke that went up to 200 metres. …
