NASA released annual data confirming that 2025 was effectively tied for the second-hottest year on record, yet the official statement notably omitted any mention of “climate change” or “global warming.” This shift marks a significant departure from previous years under the Biden administration, which explicitly linked rising temperatures to human activities and fossil fuel emissions. Experts and climate scientists have criticized the omission, suggesting it reflects a trend of self-censorship and a “climate denial agenda” under the second Trump administration. Observers warn that failing to acknowledge the drivers of extreme weather undermines global efforts to mitigate environmental risks and prepare for future climate-related disasters.
