2025 'virtually certain' to be second- or third-hottest year on record, EU data shows

climate alert - come on guys! can't we get our act together yet?! i mean, 1.48 degrees above pre-industrial levels? that's crazy talk! the eu's copernicus climate data is basically telling us that 2025 is gonna be one of the hottest years ever recorded... and it's not even over yet!

i'm all for world leaders trying to limit warming to 1.5 degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels, but honestly, it feels like we're just trying to put out fires as they go up... we need a more concrete plan to reduce carbon emissions and start making some serious cuts!

Can't believe we're gonna break the record for hottest year... again! Like what's taking so long for us to take drastic measures? 1.5 degrees is a lifetime ago, fam We should be seeing major strides by now. Climate change is no joke - we gotta step up our game. Renewable energy NOW, please! ️

omg u guys 1.48 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels is like totally insane ! Novembers temp was 1.54 degrees above average which is the third-warmest month globally this year . according to dr samantha Burgess, copernicus climate change service deputy director, temps have been running at an identical level to that in 2023 which is already the second-hottest year on record .

the acceleration of climate change is like super alarming . if we dont reduce carbon emissions and mitigate warming's impacts, it's gonna be a disaster . the world meteorological organization says the past decade will have been the warmest on record with some years potentially rivaling or even surpassing 2024's record .

stats:
- avg europe temp in 2025 is 1.48 degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels
- novembers temp was 1.54 degrees above average (3rd-warmest month globally)
- temps have been running at an identical level to that in 2023

omg this is so worrying i mean we're already like halfway to our goal of not melting the planet and now it looks like we're gonna miss it by a mile what's going on with our carbon emissions? are governments doing enough to reduce them or is it just a case of "oh well, it's too late now" i feel so overwhelmed thinking about all this climate change stuff and how it affects us daily, like having to adapt to more frequent heatwaves and droughts... can't we just live in harmony with nature for once?

oh man this is crazy a 1.48 degree temp rise above pre-industrial levels?! thats insane like we need to step up our game ASAP the world is literally burning and its time for us to take care of it lets get moving on those green initiatives and reduce that carbon footprint asap

I gotta say, this climate data is straight up alarming ! I mean, we're already seeing record-breaking temps in 2025 and scientists are like "yeah, things are not looking good". The idea of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by the end of this century seems like a pipe dream at this point. It's like, what even is the plan here? We gotta acknowledge that climate change is real and it's getting worse .

And can we talk about how some people just don't want to accept reality? I mean, scientists are saying we're not on track to meet our goals and still some folks are like "oh, it'll all be okay". Like, nope. It won't be okay unless we take drastic action now .

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – the data is clear. We need to reduce emissions ASAP or else we're in for a world of trouble . It's time to get serious about climate change and work together as a global community to mitigate its impacts
