There is no historical precedent for how badly out of balance the climate is now, U.N. warns

"Earth's climate is wildly out of balance, and there is no precedent in recorded history for what is happening now on our planet. Every key climate indicator is flashing red."

"The period from 2015 to 2025 marks the 11 hottest years on record. The imbalance between incoming and outgoing heat is the most out-of-balance it has been in our observations."

"Human activities are increasingly disrupting the natural equilibrium and we will live with these consequences for hundreds and thousands of years."

"Carbon dioxide levels are at their highest in the past two million years, and methane is at its highest in the past 800,000 years."

The World Meteorological Organization reports that the last 11 years have been the hottest on record, with climate indicators showing alarming trends. The imbalance between incoming and outgoing heat is unprecedented, worsening since 1960. Human activities, particularly fossil fuel burning, are disrupting natural equilibrium, leading to long-term consequences. Greenhouse gas levels, including carbon dioxide and methane, are at their highest in millions of years, contributing to the trapping of excess heat in the atmosphere. The situation demands urgent attention to mitigate future impacts.
