nuclear power plants and there 22 nuclear reactors are in operation in

the country. India has total installed nuclear capacity of 6,780 MW.

● The Iran–Israel proxy conflict, or Iran–Israel proxy warand Iran–Israel Cold War, is a proxy

war between Iran and Israel in the 21st century. The conflict is bound in the political struggle

of Iranian leadership against Israel and its declared aim to dissolve the Jewish state, with the

counter aim of Israel to prevent nuclear weapons being acquired by the Iranian government

and downgrading its allies and proxies such as the Lebanese Hezbollah political-militant

organization.

● The conflict gradually emerged from Iran's hostile stance toward Israel following the Iranian

Revolution 1979, into covert Iranian support of Hezbollah during the South Lebanon conflict

(1985–2000) and by 2005 developed into a proxy regional conflict. In 2006, Iran was actively

involved in supporting Hezbollah during the 2006 Lebanon War and in parallel began

supporting Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Israel, on the other hand, initiated a

campaign to harm the Iranian nuclear program, utilizing several anti-regime militias within

Iran. Upon the onset of the Syrian Civil War, the conflict escalated and by 2018 turned into

direct Iranian-Israeli warfare.

● Key issues in the conflict include Iran's support of groups opposing Israel,

Israel's support of anti-Iranian rebel groups, Iran's nuclear program, and

Israel's ties with other rivals of Iran such as Saudi Arabia and the United

States. The involvement of both countries in the Syrian Civil War has created

additional possibilities for direct conflict between the two states.

● Iran has provided significant support to Hezbollah Hamas and PIJ, whereas

Israel has supported the People's Mujahedin of Iran and has conducted

assassinations and attacks against Iranian targets directly. Israel has also

conducted cyber warfare against Iran, and has publicly advocated for

international military action against Iran.

Sun reportedly entering 'Solar Minimum

कधथत तौि पि सयि 'सौि नयनतम' म परवश कि िहा ह- Times Now

Page 49: Current Affairs Questions 21th May 2020 › assets › frontend › pdf › ... · Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve was established as the second Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra in 1993-94

● The sun is said to have gone into a state called the

‘solar minimum’ and is about to enter the deepest

period of ‘sunshine recession’ as sunspots are virtually

not visibly at all.

● Some reports suggest that it has been almost 100 days

this year when the sun has shown zero sunspots.

● Sun has a cycle that lasts on average 11 years, and

right now we are at the peak of that cycle.

● Every 11 years or so, sunspots fade away, bringing a

period of relative calm. This is called the solar

minimum. And it’s a regular part of the sunspot cycle.

● While intense activity such as sunspots and solar flares

subside during solar minimum, that doesn’t mean the

sun becomes dull.

● Solar activity simply changes form.

● For instance, during solar minimum we can see the

development of long-lived coronal holes.

● But, this may cause health risks to astronauts travelling

through space as “the sun’s magnetic field weakens

and provides less shielding from these cosmic rays.”

17 per cent decline in global carbon emissions due to COVID-19 lockdown

COVID-19 िॉकडाउन क कािण वसचवक काबिन उतसजिन म 17 परनतशत की धगिावि- Zee News

● The coronavirus-triggered lockdown has led to a

steep fall in global carbon emissions by 17 per

cent in early April as compared to 2019 levels

with India's emissions dropping by 26 per cent.

● An international study published in the UK-based

journal National Climate Change showed that the

world experienced a sharp decline in carbon

emissions between January and April, compared

to average levels in 2019, and could decline

anywhere between 4.4 per cent to 8 per cent by

the end of this year.

● The study confirmed that the impact of the

confinement on annual emissions in 2020 is likely

to lead to the largest single annual decrease in

absolute emissions since the end of World War

II.

● Besides India, other countries like the UK and the

US reduced 30.7 per cent and 31.6 per cent

emissions, respectively. In China, the emissions

reduced by 23.9 per cent, the study revealed.

● It led to the decline in carbon emissions which

was more than the fall in global energy demand.

● Commercial demand for energy has fallen as

people are confined to their homes. However,

domestic electricity demand has increased.

● This temporary decline in carbon emissions will

not slow down climate change as it is a

cumulative problem and a drop from one single

year will basically make no difference at all.

● A 5% drop is equivalent to 0.001 degree Celsius

less warming.
