A series of recent climate reports have confirmed that 2025 was the third hottest year ever recorded on Earth, trailing only the previous two years. Notably, global temperatures have now exceeded the crucial 1.5°C warming threshold for the first time over three consecutive years. Scientists attribute this alarming trend to human activity and warn that climate change is intensifying, marking a significant shift in global weather patterns. The U.S. experienced its fourth warmest year in history, with extreme weather events becoming more prevalent. Experts emphasize that these rising temperatures serve as a dire warning of a dangerous shift in the climate, with predictions suggesting the possibility of breaching further temperature thresholds in the near future.
