US EditionUN weather agency confirms hottest decade on record
- Published Monday, the WMO report states Earth's energy imbalance and ocean heat reached record highs in 2025.
- WMO scientists say atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations rose to record levels in 2024 and continued rising into 2025, driven primarily by burning oil, coal and gas.
- More than 91 percent of excess heat is now stored in the oceans, which set a new record in 2025 and doubled its warming rate from 1960–2005 to 2005–2025.
- More than three billion people who rely on marine and coastal resources face growing threats, and changes to ocean temperature are effectively irreversible over centuries to millennia.
- Scientists say the possibility of El Niño later this year raises the prospect of renewed temperature spikes, while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that 'Our addiction to fossil fuels is destabilizing both the climate and global security'.
