Global Warming Accelerates: 2025 Among Hottest Years Recorded
• Global temperatures in 2025 reached 1.44°C above pre-industrial levels, making it one of the hottest years on record.
• Fossil fuel CO2 emissions are projected to hit a record 38.1 billion tonnes in 2025, driven by increased coal, oil, and gas use.
• The Arctic region is warming more than twice as fast as the global average, leading to record low sea ice extent in March 2025.
Global warming accelerates despite Paris Agreement: Data
A decade after the Paris Agreement, climate data reveals a significant acceleration in global warming. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reports that concentrations of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide have reached record highs, contributing to a temperature spike from 2023 to 2025. The Global Carbon Budget report projects fossil fuel CO2 emissions to hit a record 38.1 billion tonnes in 2025, driven by increased coal, oil, and gas use despite the growth in renewable energy.
