2025 Nears Top of Global Heat Records as Climate Action Falters
\n…………<\/p>\n
2025 is set to be among the hottest years ever recorded, with rising temperatures driving extreme weather events as global efforts to curb climate change continue to stall. Scientists and legal experts warn that delayed action and policy reversals risk locking the world into more frequent and severe climate impacts.<\/p>\n

The year 2025 is on track to rank as the joint-second warmest on record, intensifying extreme weather worldwide and highlighting stalled progress on climate action, Arab News reported. Rising temperatures, alongside political disputes and delayed agreements, underscored the widening gap between scientific warnings and global responses to the climate crisis.<\/p>\n
Data from the EU\u2019s Copernicus Climate Change Service showed global average temperatures from January to November 2025 reached about 1.48\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels. Scientists linked the trend to persistent greenhouse-gas emissions, with heatwaves, wildfires and floods affecting Europe, North America and other regions, triggering evacuations and public health alerts.<\/p>\n
International climate diplomacy struggled to deliver decisive outcomes. At COP30 in Brazil, negotiators failed to agree on language committing countries to phase out fossil fuels, settling instead for voluntary measures. Separately, talks in Geneva aimed at a legally binding global plastics treaty collapsed for a second time, leaving future negotiations uncertain.<\/p>\n
Climate-related disasters escalated across Asia as intensified monsoon rains and storms caused severe flooding in South and Southeast Asia, killing thousands and displacing over a million people. Attribution studies said climate change had amplified rainfall intensity, warning that without stronger mitigation and adaptation, such disasters could become increasingly common.<\/p>\n
In the United States, President Donald Trump signed executive orders seeking to revive the coal industry, rolling back several climate policies. While the administration cited energy security and jobs, environmental experts warned that coal remains the most carbon-intensive fossil fuel and contradicts global efforts to cut emissions.<\/p>\n
Legal pressure on governments increased after the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion stating that states could be held responsible under international law for actions contributing to climate harm. Experts said the ruling may strengthen future climate litigation, as scientists caution that the window to prevent irreversible impacts is rapidly closing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
