The amount of heat being trapped by the Earth reached a record high in 2025, according to the United Nations, with scientists warning that the effects of this imbalance could shape the planet for thousands of years to come.
In its latest State of the Global Climate report published on Monday, the World Meteorological Organization confirmed that the past decade has been unprecedented. The 11 hottest years ever recorded have all occurred between 2015 and 2025 – a pattern that leaves little room for doubt about the trajectory of global warming.
