Global temps may rise 2.6°C this century
A United Nations report states that global greenhouse gas emissions in 2025 remained at record levels, with current policies expected to cause global warming of between 2.6 and 2.8 degrees Celsius this century, despite governments' commitments to limit warming to below two degrees and the goal of 1.5 degrees. The report explains that the chance to stay within the 1.5-degree limit has been lost due to insufficient action, and the most severe consequences include deadly floods, intense heatwaves, raging wildfires, and a disproportionate impact on the most vulnerable populations. Emissions from burning coal, oil, and gas—the primary sources of climate change—showed only a slight increase compared to the previous year, while a warning was issued that continued current policies could lead to a 2.8-degree rise in Earth's temperature.
