NASA has sparked concern after releasing a statement alongside its latest benchmark annual report on global temperatures, which notably omits one key word.
The release, which was published yesterday (14 January), confirms that global surface temperatures in 2025 were marginally warmer than 2023, following estimates that the two would become the joint-second-hottest years on record. However, NASA’s statement includes no mention of climate change, emissions, fossil fuels, or the term ‘global warming’.
