"2025 Nears Historic Heat: Poised to Be One of the Hottest Years Recorded"
2025 is on track to become one of the hottest years ever recorded, driven by alarming levels of greenhouse gas emissions, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
- The World Meteorological Organization reports that average global temperatures from January to August 2025 have risen by 1.42°C (2.56°F) compared to pre-industrial levels.
- With only two months remaining in 2025, scientists assert it is virtually impossible to limit climate change to safe thresholds due to the current trajectory of temperature increases.
- Record high concentrations of greenhouse gas emissions continue to exacerbate global warming, underscoring urgent calls for action from the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
Why It Matters
The unprecedented heat levels in 2025 signal a critical point in the climate crisis, highlighting the pressing need for global cooperation and effective policies to combat climate change and mitigate its devastating impacts.
