This warming fueled severe environmental impacts, including record-low polar sea ice and extreme heat stress affecting half of the planet\u2019s land area. The findings have led some experts to warn that the Paris Agreement&#8217;s 1.5\u00b0C goal is now &#8220;dead in the water&#8221; as human activity remains the dominant driver of climate breakdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> January 14, 2026. <strong>Source<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2026\/jan\/14\/human-activity-helped-make-2025-third-hottest-year-on-record-experts-say\">theguardian.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Meteorological Organization and other scientific bodies have declared 2025 the third-hottest year ever recorded, driven by relentless fossil fuel pollution.
