The planet experienced its third-warmest July on record in 2025, according to the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. While cooler than July 2023 and 2024, the global average temperature was still 1.25°C above pre-industrial levels. Turkey hit a record 50.5°C, battling wildfires. Experts warn climate change hasn’t paused—greenhouse gas emissions must fall to avoid worsening extremes. The 12-month period ending July 2025 exceeded the 1.5°C warming threshold set in the Paris Agreement. Europe is warming at twice the global rate. Scientists say extreme weather will persist unless fossil fuel use, deforestation, and emissions are curbed immediately. (PC: NDTV)
