>Earth’s climate is more imbalanced than at any other time on record, with 2015-2025 confirmed as the hottest 11 years on record, as highlighted by the World Meteorological Organization’s annual State of the Global Climate report.
>Notably, ocean heat content reached a record high in 2025, as the seas continue to absorb around 91 percent of the excess energy trapped by the unprecedented levels of greenhouse gases accumulating in our atmosphere.
>This is the first State of the Global Climate report to include Earth’s energy imbalance as a key indicator.
>Each year, a certain amount of solar energy reaches our planet. In a theoretical ‘stable’ climate, the amount of energy that comes in would roughly equate to the amount of energy that goes out.
>Massive amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have prevented that energy from making its way back into space. Instead, in an attempt to distribute itself across Earth, that energy is penetrating our environment, and in particular, our oceans.

Misread that as “scientists warm” 😡
