Global warming has significantly accelerated, with the rate of temperature increase more than doubling since 1981 to 0.2°C per decade, making the last decade (2015-2024) the warmest on record. This surge is driven by greenhouse gas emissions, causing rapid arctic ice melt, sea-level rise, and more frequent extreme weather events, with global temperatures likely to breach the 1.5°C threshold.

Global warming has significantly accelerated, with the rate of temperature increase more than doubling since 1981 to 0.2°C per decade, making the last decade (2015-2024) the warmest on record. This surge is driven by greenhouse gas emissions, causing rapid arctic ice melt, sea-level rise, and more frequent extreme weather events, with global temperatures likely to breach the 1.5°C threshold. 

Key Acceleration Metrics
Rapid Warming Rate:-
 Since 1981, the global temperature has risen at over 0.2°C per decade, more than double the rate of 0.07°C per decade recorded between 1850 and 1980.
Decadal Records: -
Every decade since the 1980s has been warmer than the previous one, with 2011-2020 being the warmest on record.
The 1.5°C Threshold: -
Recent data suggests the 1.5°C limit defined in the Paris Agreement was likely exceeded in 2023 and 2024.
Arctic Amplification: -
The Arctic is warming at least twice as fast as the global average, leading to unprecedented ice sheet loss.
Drivers and Consequences
Increased Greenhouse Gases:-
 Burning fossil fuels has led to record concentrations of greenhouse gases, accelerating the rise in global temperatures.
Reduced Aerosols: -
Decreased air pollution (aerosols) has removed a temporary cooling effect, allowing more sunlight to heat the planet.
Impacts: -
The acceleration is causing more frequent extreme weather, including intense heatwaves , wildfires, and sea-level rise that threatens coastal cities. 
Future Projections
2°C Threshold: -
Projections indicate the world is on track to surpass 2.0°C above pre-industrial levels by the mid-to-late 2030s.
Tipping Points: -
The accelerated warming increases the risk of crossing critical climate tipping points, such as rapid glacier melt or massive permafrost thawing.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
