Britain's national weather service, the UK Met Office, confirmed its own data ranked 2025 as the third-warmest in records going back to 1850.

U.S. President Donald Trump, who has called climate change "the greatest con job", last week withdrew from dozens of U.N. entities including the scientific Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The long-established consensus among the world's scientists is that climate change is real, mostly caused by humans, and getting worse. RELATED TOPICS Climate Change
