New data confirms that 2025 was the third-warmest year ever recorded, with scientists listing the rising concentration of greenhouse gases, driven by emissions, as the main cause of climate warming.<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Rome (INPS Japan\/CitiPlat<\/a>) – <\/strong>2025 is the third-warmest year on record in a series from 1850, following 2024 and 2023, according to new data released today.\uff5cJAPANESE<\/a>\uff5c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The three-year run of record warmest years saw 2025 conclude at 1.41\u00b10.09\u00b0C above the 1850-1900 global average, according to the HadCRUT5 temperature series, collated by the Met Office, the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the National Centre for Atmospheric Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2025 is the third warmest year on record and is the third calendar year exceeding 1.4\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In line with predictions<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Commenting on the three warmest year series, Professor Stephen Belcher CBE \u2013 the Met Office Chief Scientist \u2013 said: \u201cFrom 2023, the globe has seen a surge in average annual temperatures. The three-year average global temperature from 2023 to 2025 has been 1.47\u00b0C above the average for 1850-1900.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professor Tim Osborn is Director of the Climatic Research Unit at UEA<\/u><\/a>. He said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur global temperature observations show that the world is continuing to warm in line with predictions made by climate scientists worldwide.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA natural climate variation in the Pacific Ocean, known as the El Ni\u00f1o-Southern Oscillation, temporarily added about 0.1\u00b0C to the global temperature in 2023 and 2024, contributing to the abrupt onset of the recent temperature surge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis natural influence weakened by 2025, and therefore the global temperature we observed in 2025 provides a clearer picture of the underlying warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSharp and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions would slow, and eventually stop, further human-caused changes in the world\u2019s climate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Human-induced greenhouse gas rise<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Climate scientist Colin Morice of the Met Office said: \u201cThe long-term increase in global annual average temperature is driven by the human-induced rise in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Fluctuations in the year-to-year temperature largely result from natural variation in the climate system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using a combination of observations from the last decade and projections for the next ten years (2015-2034), the World Meteorological Organization estimated last year in the State of the Global Climate\u202f report that the current long-term global warming level (more relevant than the average for a single or small number of years when considering the Paris Agreement on climate change) is 1.37\u00b0C with a range of 1.34\u00b0C to 1.41\u00b0C above the average of the period from 1850-1900.<\/p>\n\n\n

Climate scientists from the Met Office and other organisations are examining the rise in annual global mean surface temperatures; this includes the significant recent increase seen in 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The scientists confirm the main cause of climate warming is increasing greenhouse gas concentrations driven by rising emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The experts also cite a number of factors for the recent surge, including: the rapid transition to El Ni\u00f1o conditions in 2023; the accumulation of ocean heat due to the high value of Earth\u2019s Energy Imbalance; and reductions in anthropogenic aerosol emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
