2026 Could Be Earth’s Hottest Year | Durham News

Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description

Summer’s turning into a climate emergency as record-breaking heat, wildfires, and ocean temperatures collide—thanks to a supercharged El Nino and human-caused warming. While 2026 is currently ranked third hottest, scientists warn it could top 2024 and 2025, with a 35% chance of becoming the hottest year ever. This isn’t just extreme weather—it’s climate change in action, hitting places unprepared and disrupting sleep, work, and safety across continents. The warming trend is accelerating, fueled by falling pollution and a climate more sensitive to greenhouse gases than we realized. This is no longer a future threat—it’s the present.
