"The 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) goal will not be achieved" and will likely be breached in "less than 5 years."
"Too little time remains and efforts at mitigation fall far short of what would have been needed to meet that target."
On top of all this, fossil fuel pollution is still climbing. Big yikes.

2025 was our 3rd (or 2nd) hottest year - by a lot.
The last 11 years have been been the 11 hottest observed. The last 3, the top 3.
We are in an "extreme warming spike" that "suggests an acceleration" and that "past warming rate is no longer a reliable predictor of the future." 📈 😵💫 ⏰ 🚨

The heat energy we added to the ocean LAST YEAR is the equivalent of:
- Detonating ten hydrogen bombs every minute
- operating over a hundred large power plants continuously for all of written human history
- Five times all the electricity human beings have ever used
- Detonating ten hydrogen bombs every minute
- operating over a hundred large power plants continuously for all of written human history

Ocean heat content increased by 23 billion trillion joules, which was around 39 times greater than global primary energy use this year. This is the largest rise in OHC since 2017; overall OHC has increased by over 500 zettajoules since the 1940s.

On this day in 1997, right-wing paramilitary group Máscara Roja murdered 45 people at an Indigenous Catholic prayer meeting in Chiapas. The Government of Mexico admitted responsibility in September of 2020. US officials in 2012 recommended immunity for former president Zedillo.
