US Edition2025 was the world's third-warmest year on record, EU scientists say
The years 2023–2025 form the first period to average above 1.5°C warming, with record-low polar sea ice and widespread extreme weather, Copernicus reported.
- The Copernicus Climate Change Service and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reported that 2025 ranked as the world's third-warmest year in their mid‑January release.
- Scientists attribute the trend to greenhouse gases from burning coal, oil and natural gas, with more than 90% of excess heat absorbed by oceans last year.
- Copernicus records indicate the global average surface air temperature was 14.97°C in 2025, 0.01°C cooler than 2023 and 0.13°C cooler than 2024, while the three-year period 2023–2025 exceeded the 1.5 degrees Celsius threshold.
- Climate-Related disasters cost $115 billion last year, with 23 events exceeding $1 billion and causing 276 deaths; combined polar sea ice extent hit its lowest February level, while Antarctica saw record warmth.
- Laurence Rouil said, `Atmospheric data from 2025 paints a clear picture: human activity remains the dominant driver of the exceptional temperatures we are observing. Atmospheric greenhouse gases have steadily increased over the last 10 years,` at Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service.

According to data from the EU climate service Copernicus, last year has been the third warmest since the start of the weather records.
According to EU calculations, the last eleven years have been the eleven warmest since the start of the records. If this continues, an important brand will be exceeded ten years earlier than expected, the experts say.
Global warming reaches a critical threshold. In 2025, the global temperature exceeded that of the pre-industrial era by 1.5°C. The consequences are predicted to be dramatic.

Independent EspañolWASHINGTON (AP) — The Earth's average temperature last year remained feverishly high, a jump from decades of trends, but not as record-breaking as 2024, several teams reported Tuesday…
There is almost no hope for the Paris climate goal. According to EU calculations, for the first time three years on average more than 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels. Local outliers do not change that.
