Six major science teams calculated that 2025 was the third-hottest year on record, behind only 2024 and 2023. The average global temperature for 2023–2025 is expected to exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels — the first three-year average to breach that critical threshold. Scientists warn global warming could be accelerating...

A new climate report reveals that nearly 7 million Australians are threatened by increasingly deadly bushfires, with worsening fire seasons fueled by hotter, drier conditions linked to climate change. Climate disasters cost the Australian economy $2.2 billion in the first six months of 2025 alone...

Flash floods, deadly heatwaves, droughts, and record-breaking wildfires defined Europe in 2025. Climate change was responsible for 68 percent of the estimated 24,400 heat deaths during summer, with heat domes behind extreme weather nearly tripling in strength and duration since the 1950s...

China’s carbon dioxide emissions have plateaued in 2025, indicating the world’s largest emitter may have finally reached peak emissions. Record-high renewable energy deployment — with total renewable capacity reaching 2,159 GW by mid-2025 — combined with rapid electric vehicle adoption has been sufficient to curb coal power generation...

Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier — often called the “Doomsday Glacier” — is melting at unprecedented rates and already accounts for four percent of the world’s annual sea level rise. Covering 192,000 square kilometres, its complete collapse could raise global sea levels by 65 centimetres, exposing millions of coastal residents to catastrophic flooding. Scientists are now designing an ambitious 152-metre underwater barrier to shield the ice sheet from warm ocean currents...

UC Berkeley researchers have found that the Amazon rainforest is transitioning into an unprecedented “hypertropical” climate characterised by extreme heat and punishing drought cycles with no parallel in modern history. The study reveals that these conditions increase tree mortality by 55 percent, threatening the Amazon’s critical role as a global carbon sink with dire consequences for worldwide efforts to limit atmospheric CO₂...
