Climate Change Accelerates: 2023-2025 Average Exceeds 1.5C

Earth's climate is rapidly warming, with projections indicating the 2023-2025 period will surpass the critical 1.5C warming threshold for the first time. Official data reveals that global temperatures from January to November 2025 averaged 1.48C above preindustrial levels. This marks an alarming acceleration of climate change, pushing the planet beyond the stable conditions necessary for humanity.

November 2025 was notably warmer than average, particularly in the Arctic, and experienced severe weather events like cyclones and floods across Asia. These extremes are directly linked to increased greenhouse gas emissions, which intensify weather patterns. While natural factors like El Niño and La Niña influence year-to-year variations, the long-term warming trend is undeniable.
