US EditionNASA acknowledges record heat but avoids referencing climate change
NASA's report ranks 2025 as the second-hottest year with a 2.14°F rise but omits mention of climate change or human influence amid shifting government messaging.
- On Wednesday, NASA, the US space agency, published a short statement acknowledging 2025 among the hottest years but made no reference to climate change alongside its annual benchmark report.
- Last year, the agency's Biden-era release featured lengthy quotes, graphics and a video, explicitly attributing warming to human activities under the administration of Democrat Joe Biden.
- NASA's analysis found the 2025 average temperature was 2.14 degrees Fahrenheit above the 1951–1980 average, using data from more than 25,000 meteorological stations and sea surface measures.
- The agency did not immediately respond to AFP's request for comment after reporting 2025 tied as the second-hottest year, while Copernicus and NOAA place it third.
- Critics, including University of Pennsylvania climatologist Michael Mann, say NASA administrators' omission reflects President Donald Trump's fossil-fuel agenda, contrasting last year's fuller communications.

NASA reports record heat but omits reference to climate change
Don't say the c-word.
Global temperatures dropped in 2025, however, Nasa did not mention climate change in a communiqué published this Thursday along with its most recent annual report. The position is in line with US President Donald Trump's policies to deny the fact that global warming is caused by human activities. What is expected of 2026? 2025 was the third hottest year of history, says the European Observatory Extremes: intense cold and advanced data centres ma…
The absence of reference in the last report represents a reverse in relation to the previous year's report.
NASA’s 2025 Report: Hottest Year on Record, Ignores Climate Change
NASA’s Silent Heatwave: Record Temperatures Reported Amid Omitted Climate Ties In a striking departure from decades of scientific communication, NASA’s latest annual temperature report for 2025 has confirmed it as one of the hottest years on record, yet conspicuously avoids any mention of climate change or human-induced global warming. This omission comes against a backdrop of escalating global temperatures, with data showing 2025 tying closely …
