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.

We are often reminded that 2024 was the hottest year on record and that 2023 was the second hottest. The World Meteorological ...

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 ...

Sea surface temperature (SST) is a fundamental parameter in understanding climate dynamics, ocean circulation and air–sea interactions. Advances in remote sensing techniques have considerably enhanced ...

A new study co-led by the Smithsonian and the University of Arizona offers the most detailed glimpse yet of how Earth’s surface temperature has changed over the past 485 million years. In a paper ...

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 ...

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 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 ...
