Global warming has caused a ∼1.2∘C∼1.2∘C increase in global temperatures since pre-industrial levels, resulting in frequent heatwaves, sea-level rise, and ecosystem disruptions. The last 11 years (2015–2025) are the hottest on record, accelerating glacier melting and extreme weather, impacting biodiversity and human health.

increase in global temperatures since pre-industrial levels, resulting in frequent heatwaves, sea-level rise, and ecosystem disruptions. The last 11 years (2015–2025) are the hottest on record, accelerating glacier melting and extreme weather, impacting biodiversity and human health.
Key observed changes include:
Extreme Weather Events:-
Intense droughts, floods, and wildfires are becoming more frequent, with wildfires burning significantly more acreage, such as recent events in California and Europe.
Ocean Changes: -
Sea levels have risen 8–9 inches since 1880, and ocean acidity has increased significantly, affecting marine life.
Human Impact:-
Roughly 3.6 billion people live in areas highly vulnerable to climate change, facing water scarcity, food insecurity, and increased health risks from heat stress and disease.
Melting Ice & Habitats: -
Arctic sea ice is rapidly decreasing, with glaciers melting for over 36 consecutive years.
Impacts in a specific region (e.g., Arctic, coastal cities, Asia)
Effects on specific industries (e.g., agriculture, insurance, tourism)
Current, real-world solutions being implemented now.
Temperature increased about 2°F (1.1°C) from 1850 to 2023. Updated January 2024. Sea level rise has sped up. Global average sea level has risen 8–9 inches .
