Earth Hits Record Heat: What the Science Says About Climate Change | APT

Earth is heating up faster than ever before. This year has broken global temperature records across continents — from Europe’s deadly heatwaves to Asia’s soaring temperatures and melting glaciers. But what exactly is driving this surge, and what does the science tell us about the future of our planet?

Experts say the combination of greenhouse gas emissions, human activity, and natural phenomena like El Niño has created a perfect storm of warming. According to NASA and the World Meteorological Organization, the last decade was the hottest on record — and 2025 is already on track to continue the trend.

Scientists explain that carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, intensifying extreme weather — from droughts and wildfires to floods and hurricanes. Rising ocean temperatures are also altering global climate systems, threatening marine life and coastal communities.
