Scientists have confirmed 2025 as the third warmest year on record globally. Temperatures exceeded 1.4 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, marking the third consecutive year this critical threshold has been surpassed.
Multiple scientific bodies released the data, which highlights an "unmistakable trend" towards a hotter climate. Professor Tim Osborn, director of the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit, is among the scientists involved in the analysis. The findings show the continued impact of human activity on global temperatures.
Scientific consensus
Several leading climate research institutions confirmed the findings, including the Met Office and the Copernicus Climate Change Service. Climate scientist Colin Morice from the Met Office and Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus service, verified the temperature data.
Professor Richard Allan from the University of Reading and John Marsham, Professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Leeds, also contributed to the analysis. The coordinated release from multiple independent bodies strengthens the reliability of the findings.
The three-year streak of temperatures above 1.4C represents a significant marker in climate science. Scientists measure this warming against pre-industrial levels to track how close the world is to critical climate thresholds.
