Mount Etna Erupts as Large Plumes Rise from Volcano

A number of explosions of increasing intensity were recorded, Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) Etna Observatory said.
Mount Etna is one of the world's most active volcanoes, so eruptions are not uncommon and its outbursts rarely cause significant damage or injury.

Global Temperature Likely to Breach 1.5°C in Next Five Years
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has raised a serious warning about climate change. According to a recent report, there is a 70% chance that global temperatures will cross the 1.5°C limit above pre-industrial levels between the years 2025 and 2029.
The WMO's report titled "Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update (2025-2029)," says that the Earth's average temperature between 2025 and 2029 could be between 1.2°C and 1.9°C above pre-industrial levels.
This prediction is based on current climate trends.
Also, there is an 80% chance that at least one of the next five years will break the record set in 2024, which was already the hottest year ever recorded.
