Global warming and climate change concerning trends
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has issued its 2025 State of the Global Climate Report, which reveals concerning trends in global warming and climate change. The report underscores that the Earth's energy imbalance has reached a ratio of 18:1, indicating that significantly more heat is being trapped in the atmosphere than released, making the last 11 years the warmest ever recorded. More than 90% of the excess heat is absorbed by the oceans, leading to increased ocean temperatures and acidification, posing a severe threat to marine ecosystems. Global sea levels have reached record highs, with an increase of 11 cm since 1993, threatening coastal communities and infrastructure.
