Global Warming

A decade after the Paris Agreement, a UN report determines: the global fight against global warming has failed. Scientists warn that the world is expected to cross the warming threshold within a few years and fear a tipping point from which the Earth will not be able to recover.

The Earth's oceans reached their highest temperature ever recorded in modern history this past weekend. The average sea surface temperature in non-polar regions hit 21.1 degrees Celsius, breaking the previous record set in March 2024. Scientists are particularly concerned that this record was reached during a period when water temperatures are typically not at their peak.

The US climate agency warns that there is a nearly 70% chance that the current ocean warming phenomenon will break all known records. Scientists fear the dangerous combination with global warming, which will create droughts and floods around the world: "We are already in record-breaking territory."

The surge in energy demand driven by AI is reviving interest in nuclear power, yet global warming and falling river levels are undermining the reliability of nuclear plants, forcing output cuts.

The "El Niño" climate phenomenon is expected to reach its peak in December, but it is already causing severe droughts on three continents, damaging crops and threatening food supplies. The UN warns that tens of millions more could face severe hunger.

Heatwaves, fires, droughts, and floods are becoming the "new normal," and 2026 may be the hottest year in history. Scientists warn of approaching tipping points in critical climate systems and a food crisis that could push tens of millions into hunger. Alongside the dire forecasts, experts emphasize: it is still possible to halt the process.

A special project by NASA reveals that the planet's energy balance has been dramatically disrupted, with one of the main reasons being a positive move led by countries around the world.
