2025 Among Hottest Years Amid Climate Challenges

Scientists say 2025 was one of the hottest years ever because of climate change caused by humans.

This is the first time the average temperature over three years was higher than the limit set by the 2015 Paris Agreement, which aims to keep the Earth's temperature from rising more than 1.5°C.

Extreme weather events like heat waves, wildfires, and floods happened more often and were more severe.

These events caused a lot of damage and made it hard for people to prepare and respond.

The United Nations climate talks did not make a clear plan to stop using fossil fuels, and different countries are making different amounts of progress in fighting climate change.

Some countries are using more renewable energy, while others are still using coal, oil, and gas.

Scientists say we need to do more to stop the Earth from getting too warm.
