The new climate warning shows the Earth accumulating energy at an accelerated pace, with warmer oceans, poles under pressure, and heatwaves gaining strength, while the expectation of El Niño reignites fears of new records
The climate alert has returned to the center of international debate following the release of new data on global warming. The Earth is accumulating more heat than it can release, putting pressure on oceans, glaciers, and increasing the frequency of extreme events.
In practice, this means more heatwaves, greater pressure on marine life, rising sea levels, and more favorable conditions for the intensification of diseases and storms. The next natural cycle of the Pacific could further amplify this scenario.
Global temperature continues to rise and 2025 was 1.43 °C above pre-industrial levels
The latest data shows that the average air temperature on the planet in 2025 was about 1.43 °C above the pre-industrial period. Even with a temporary cooling linked to La Niña, the level remained very high.

This maintained the streak of the hottest years ever recorded since 1850. The scenario reinforces the understanding that global warming remains strong and shows signs of acceleration on various fronts.
Excess heat trapped on Earth advances over oceans, ice, and atmosphere
The so-called energy imbalance describes the moment when the planet receives more energy from the Sun than it can return to space. This excess heat does not disappear and ends up being absorbed by different parts of the climate system.
Most of it goes into the oceans, while another portion heats the air and soil and accelerates ice melting. The impact is direct on the climate and helps explain recent temperature records in various regions.
Sea heat hits new peak and pressures extreme phenomena
More than 90% of the extra heat accumulated by the Earth is in the oceans. This process affects marine ecosystems, contributes to rising sea levels, and creates conditions for more intense storms.
According to World Meteorological Organization, a UN agency for climate and weather, the heat stored in the first 2 km of the global ocean reached a new record last year. In the last two decades, warming in this range has occurred at more than double the rate compared to the end of the last century.
Ice at the poles and glaciers register losses among the worst ever seen
Signs are also appearing in the frozen regions of the planet. Glaciers had one of the five worst years in recent history, while sea ice at both poles remained at minimal levels or very close to it for much of 2025.
This movement indicates that the accumulated heat is not restricted to the atmosphere. It is already altering fundamental structures of the global climate and amplifying long-term effects that could last for centuries.
Heatwave in the United States forecasts a stronger impact
Extreme heat is already showing strength in populous areas. In the southwestern United States, temperatures exceeded 40 °C in several locations, remaining between 10 °C and 15 °C above the average for the period.
This type of event reinforces how the current warming moves from the realm of projections into everyday life. The practical effect appears in public health, energy, agriculture, and climate security.
El Niño could push 2027 to a new temperature level
Attention is now turning to the Pacific Ocean. Predictions indicate the possibility of a new warming phase forming in the second half of 2026, which could further raise the global average temperature.
If confirmed, 2027 could enter the race for new historical heat records. The combination of the natural cycle of the Pacific and human-induced warming changes the weight of the global climate scenario.
The message is clear. The planet continues to accumulate heat at a high rate, with increasingly visible effects on seas, ice, and extreme events affecting millions of people.
With the risk of a new warm phase in the Pacific, the situation gains extra pressure in the coming months. The alert is not limited to thermometers and affects the Pacific.
