US Edition2025 was the world's third-warmest year on record, EU scientists say
EU scientists report 2025 as the third-warmest year globally, with 91% of the planet above average temperatures and a three-year average exceeding 1.5°C warming.
- Last year, the Copernicus Climate Change Service and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reported 2025 was the planet's third-warmest year, with an average temperature of 14.97 degrees Celsius.
- Scientists say the spike was driven by greenhouse gases from fossil fuels and weakened natural carbon sinks, while high sea-surface temperatures linked to El Nino and aerosol changes amplified warming.
- Copernicus data show sea ice at both poles hit record lows, the Antarctic had its warmest annual temperature, and Berkeley Earth calculated 770 million people faced record heat, including 450 million in China.
- Scientists caution the economic and health costs will grow as rising global temperatures intensify extreme weather, causing billions in damage despite the $120 billion adaptation pledge at last year's United Nations climate summit for vulnerable nations.
- Scientists predict 2026 may match 2025's heat, with Copernicus finding 2023-25 exceeded 1.5C, and Laurence Rouil said `The atmosphere is sending us a message, and we must listen`.

2025 another near-record hot year
WASHINGTON — Earth's average temperature last year hovered among one of the three hottest on record, while the past three years indicate that warming could speed up, international climate monitoring teams reported.
Experts issue urgent warning as records show 'extreme' spike in marker for global crisis: 'It's all at risk'
The last three years have marked an unprecedented hot streak for the Earth. 2025 was its third-warmest year on record. The only two years that have been hotter globally were 2023 and 2024. The three-year warming spike, the sharpest of its kind in climate records dating back to 1850, might signal an acceleration of climate change, according to scientists. "Major economies that refuse to act are putting their own economic security in jeopardy," …
NOAA: 2025 was the third-warmest year on record, trailing 2023 and 2024
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) just released its annual Global Temperature and Precipitation Analysis for 2025, and the results continue recent trends. The report highlighted that last year was the third-warmest year globally on record, just behind 2023 as the second warmest and 2024, the warmest ever. The analysis reviews weather and ocean data going back to 1850. The report noted that the past decade was the warmest…
