The year 2025 was the warmest on record for the heat content of the world’s oceans. Ocean heat content (OHC) increased by around 500 zettajoules – billion trillion joules – since the 1940s.

Given record-setting heat waves around the world in recent years, an international team of researchers led by scientists at UC Santa Cruz investigated if the rate of global warming has increased ...

Jan. 10 (UPI) --The average global surface temperature for 2024 exceeded the 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels threshold set by the Paris Agreement for the first time and was the warmest ...

The world has warmed even more than we thought, according to a new dataset suggesting the temperature rise since pre-industrial times is 6 per cent higher than previous estimates. That would put us on ...

Chinese air quality improvements are likely to have contributed to accelerated global surface temperature warming, according to a research paper, with the Asian landmass warming at twice the global ...

Feb. 6 (UPI) --The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service on Thursday said January 2025 was the hottest on record continuing warming trends despite the presence of cooling factors. January ...

The magnitude of a temperature increase since mid-2023 is puzzling scientists. Last year, 2024, was the warmest year on record for the planet, easily breaking the previous record set just a year ...

According to the 35th annual State of the Climate report, greenhouse gas concentrations, the global temperature across land and oceans, global sea level, and ocean heat content all reached record ...
