2025 Confirmed as Third Warmest Year

2025 Confirmed as Third Warmest Year

Scientists have confirmed that 2025 was the third warmest year ever recorded.

This means the Earth was very hot compared to previous years.

For the first time, the average temperature was more than 1.5°C higher than it was before people started using a lot of fossil fuels.

This is a big deal because scientists say that going over this limit can cause more extreme weather like hurricanes, floods, and wildfires.

The world is getting warmer because of things like burning coal, oil, and gas.

Some leaders, like the U.S. President, are not taking this seriously and are even pulling out of groups that study climate change.

Scientists warn that if we don't do something about it, the Earth will keep getting hotter and these extreme weather events will happen more often.
