The Earth is far warmer than we ever knew.<\/p>\n
And it’s only getting hotter by the year. Climate change has become the issue of our time, which is a top priority to address. Scientists have found that the planet is holding onto heat like a child clasping a warm plush toy. However, this finding has far-reaching implications for Earth.<\/strong><\/p>\n Why is the Earth holding on to so much heat and energy?<\/p>\n We have made remarkable progress as a society over the past 100 years.<\/p>\n From the automobile to the Moon landings, humans have made the extraordinary nothing more than a breeze in the wind. But the consequences of our collective progression as a species<\/strong> have become too loud and hot to ignore.<\/p>\n Global warming used to be something relegated to the more climate-conscious among us. But people have been raising alarm bells over our climate for decades.<\/p>\n An uncomfortable Truth<\/em> painted a picture by Al Gore of how the planet was heading for a climate crisis<\/strong> of biblical proportions. Hindsight really is a terrible form of nostalgia.<\/p>\n The impact of climate change on our one and only home in the universe is getting out of hand.<\/p>\n Regular weather catastrophes have devastated millions across the nation and the world, too. The NOAA has already issued several severe weather warnings<\/strong> over the past few months.<\/p>\n First, it was the unfathomable snowstorms that enveloped some parts of the nation.<\/a><\/p>\n Following that snow cyclone was the beginning of the United States tornado season, which started earlier than expected this year.<\/strong> The climate crisis has affected almost every aspect of daily life as cities force residents to shelter in place to avoid the worst of it.<\/p>\n A couple of weeks ago, the NOAA issued warnings for several states over torrential rain and localized flooding.<\/a><\/p>\n A team of researchers has been studying the Earth to get to the bottom of why and how the planet is warming at an alarming rate<\/strong>, and the State of the Global Climate 2025 from the WMO<\/a> has made a worrisome finding.<\/p>\n Global warming has reached into every nook and cranny of the planet.<\/p>\n From the lack of snow during winter in the Himalayan mountains<\/a> to the more recent vastly different weather conditions that divided the nation in half<\/strong>, global warming is getting serious.<\/p>\n The World Meteorological Organization has confirmed that 2025 was the hottest year on record.<\/p>\n Global temperatures reached 34 \u00b0F warmer than pre-industrial levels, which the WMO has warned is a serious threat to our collective future. We now know that since the 1990s, heat-related deaths have risen by as much as 63%.<\/strong><\/p>\n As the WMO has stated, the excess heat that our planet is generating is heading into the ocean, creating a literal boiling pot that may affect our global ecosystem<\/strong> over the coming years if nothing is done.<\/p>\n Greenhouse gases are forcing the Earth to retain most of its excess heat, with as much as 91% of it being absorbed by our oceans. <\/p>\n Global weather tracking has noted that the oceans are facing a tipping point and are changing at a rapid pace<\/a>, with the issue becoming the most important in our lifetime<\/strong> that needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n It is of the utmost importance for the world to come together to find solutions to alleviate concerns over the climate crisis we are facing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Earth is far warmer than we ever knew.

The Earth’s weather is getting more and more concerning for us all<\/h2>\n
The WMO says the Earth is retaining much of its heat and energy<\/h2>\n
The planet is sending most of its excess heat into the oceans<\/h3>\n
