Earth Gets Hotter

New information says the Earth is getting warmer. The years 2023, 2024, and 2025 are the hottest years. The world's heat went over a special limit. This limit is 1.5 degrees Celsius. People's pollution is making the Earth hotter.

Data from Europe and the UK shows this. 2025 was the third hottest year. 2024 was the hottest year. 2023 was the second hottest. These years show the Earth is warming a lot. The last ten years were the warmest ever.

The heat in 2025 was about 1.4 degrees higher. This is a bit less than before. But scientists are still worried. The warming is still very high for a long time. 2025 was hot on land and in the sea.

This happens because people use many fossil fuels. This puts more gases in the air. These gases hold heat. Even a cool event like La Niña could not stop the warming.

Dr. Samantha Burgess says future years may be hotter. Professor Rowan Sutton says more pollution means more heat.

This warming has big effects. We are close to bad changes. If we don't stop pollution, we will see more hot years. Fires and storms will get worse. The 1.5 degrees goal might be missed soon.
