Climate change is occurring at a much faster rate than expected, as data shows that the rate at which Earth heated in the past decade dramatically changed compared to past years. This puts Earth at risk of a catastrophe that could happen sooner than thought.     

Scientists find Earth did not warm as expected from 2015. In fact, it was way worse

Scientists studying polar bears in Norway’s Svalbard region found them fat and healthy despite rapid Arctic ice loss, challenging climate assumptions.

Texas and Oklahoma braced for heavy snow and ice that could make roadways treacherous Friday in what is expected to be some of the initial effects of a huge, dayslong winter storm threatening catastrophic damage, extensive power outages and bitterly cold weather to more than 170 million people across the nation, the National Weather Service says — about half the population.

Last year was the third-warmest in modern history, according to data from Copernicus, the European Union’s climate change monitoring service. Scientists say the average global temperature in 2025 was about 1.47 °C higher than the pre-industrial baseline, as the past 11 years have ranked among the warmest on record, underscoring the growing impact of climate change.


2025 Was the Third-Hottest Year Ever Recorded, Data Shows

Data from the EU’s European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts showed that the past three years were the hottest on record, with 2025 only 0.01 degrees Celsius cooler than 2023. Britain's national weather service also confirmed 2025 as the third-warmest year since 1850.

This year is “virtually certain” to end as the second- or third-hottest year on record, EU scientists have found, as climate breakdown continues to push the planet away from the stable conditions in which humanity evolved.


2025, the second hottest year on record?

The mechanism behind this potential surge lies in the ocean’s structure. As described by the study, the Southern Ocean becomes colder and saltier at the surface as new sea ice forms; the freezing process rejects salt into surrounding waters, making the surface layer denser.

Scientists warn Antarctica’s Southern Ocean is building up a massive thermal ‘burp’

Global fossil fuel emissions are projected to hit a record high in 2025, nearing 38.1 billion tonnes, according to the Global Carbon Budget report. Scientists warn the world has just four years of carbon budget left to stay under 1.5°C, calling current global climate efforts “impossible.”

Scientists warn that coral reefs are facing irreversible collapse as global climate systems approach critical tipping points. Rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and human-induced emissions have accelerated coral bleaching events worldwide.

The new figures raise the total number of defender killings to 1,910 between 2012—when the NGO began its reporting—and 2022. However, the actual number is likely much higher, the authors noted, as many cases go unreported due to occurring in conflict zones or areas with restricted access and limited monitoring.

Earth has two new seasons, thanks to humans, who have not only altered the climate with irresponsible acts, but also changed how spring and summer act out. Wildfires and changing currents have added haze in the skies and trash on the beach, the two seasons officially on record. 

Earth has two new seasons, and it is not good news for our planet

The ice jams become a hazard and can be highly destructive, as flooding can occur behind the blockage, and a sudden ice jam collapse can let loose a gush of ice and water, damaging communities, wildlife, and infrastructure downstream.

Ice jams will choke China’s Yellow River due to global warming, cause devastation, says study

Climate experts warn the world is edging dangerously close to the 1.5°C global warming limit. Despite the weakening of El Nino, average global temperatures remain alarmingly high. With 2025 already showing record heat trends, scientists say urgent climate action is needed.

A new study by Dr. Wang and Prof. Shen from Tongji University has found that Antarctica's ice sheet gained mass between 2021 and 2023. This is a major shift from previous years when the continent was consistently losing ice.

Is ice shifting from North to South Pole? Antarctica is gaining mass again, but Arctic tells a different story

A new study reveals that Lapland experienced its warmest summer in 2,000 years in 2024, with researchers warning that human-caused climate change is to blame. The alarming findings suggest that such heatwaves may become common by 2050.

NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) recorded Arctic sea ice levels at 5.53 million square miles (14.33 million square kilometres) on 22 March 2025, marking the lowest winter maximum extent ever observed.

A new UN report highlights how oceans could play a crucial role in fighting global warming by absorbing CO2 and heat. With nearly 50 field trials in the past four years, scientists are exploring ways to regulate climate through ocean-based solutions. However, critics warn that these efforts are moving too fast with limited safeguards.

UN Report: How oceans could help fight global warming

United Nations estimates say our oceans generate 50% of the oxygen we need, they absorb 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions, and capture 90% of the excess heat generated by these emissions. Our oceans are not just the lungs of the planet but also its largest carbon sink. Watch in for more details!
