2025 was the third hottest year on modern record. What's fun is that 2025 wasn't fueled by El Nino like #1 and #2 years on that list.

2025 was the third hottest year on record, and the last 11 years are the warmest ever. Oceans absorbed 90% of the extra heat, fueling stronger storms, heavier floods & marine die-offs.

Jaw-dropping visual.
Humans have emitted 2750 gigatons of CO2 since the industrial revolution from burning fossil fuels and land use change. To put this in perspective, this is more than the (dry) mass of all living things on earth and everything humans have ever built combined:

This data is incomprehensible to many people, despite excellent SciComm. It'll take their houses floating/burning away before an ember of understanding sparks. But even then, that ember is tamped down by the regimes in charge. We need global effort from the powerful & wealthy to bail out this ship.
Mind blowing that millions & millions of people have been born, lived their entire lives, & died without ever realising that the man-made system they mistakenly believe is the real world is actually the very thing destroying it.
Our kids aren’t gonna have that luxury.

I fear that the collective global effort required to fix this impending catastrophe will never be reached: hoarding wealth and power take precedent.

A recent study found that plastic pollution and climate change go hand in hand. Rising temperatures break plastics up faster and climate disasters help spread microplastics and the chemicals they contain widely—leading to more harm for our health and the environment.
