“2025, the second or third hottest year on record” - EU scientists: Global warming at dangerous levels
This year is expected to be the second or third hottest on record, potentially second only to 2024, which set record temperatures, according to the European Union's Climate Change Service (C3S).
Also, 2025 is expected to conclude the first three-year period where the average global temperature has exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial period 1850-1900, when humans began the industrial burning of fossil fuels.
Extreme weather continued to hit regions around the world this year. Typhoon Kalmaegi killed more than 200 people in the Philippines last month. Spain suffered its most dramatic wildfires in three decades, driven by weather patterns. “These milestones are not abstract, they reflect the increasing frequency of climate change,” the researchers point out.
Last year was the hottest on record. While natural weather patterns change temperatures from year to year, scientists have documented a clear trend of global warming over time. They have confirmed that the main cause of this warming is greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels.
The last 10 years have been the 10 warmest years since records began, the World Meteorological Organization announced earlier this year.
The global limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius is the limit on warming that countries pledged to prevent under the 2015 Paris Agreement. But the UN has said the target is not realistically achievable and called on governments to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as soon as possible.
