WMOβs State of the Global Climate report 2025 confirms that 2015-2025 are the hottest 11-years on record, and that 2025 was the second or third hottest year on record, at about 1.43 Β°C above the 1850-1900 average. Extreme events around the world, including intense heat, heavy rainfall and tropical cyclones, caused disruption and devastation and highlighted the vulnerability of our inter-connected economies and societies.The ocean continues to warm and absorb carbon dioxide. It has been absorbing the equivalent of about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades. Annual sea ice extent in the Arctic was at or near a record low, Antarctic sea ice extent was the third lowest on record, and glacier melt continued unabated, according to the report.For the first time, the report includes the Earthβs energy imbalance as one of the key climate indicators.

"The burning of #oil, #gas, #coal and #forests releases heat-trapping #greenhouse gases such as #carbon dioxide, #methane and nitrous oxide, which are all at their highest level in at least 800,000 years."
El Nino is just around the corner while we keeping burning things all the time.

New #garden joy! π·πΏπ³Battling though persistent heavy rain (which turned from atrocious to torrential) and a sea of mud in February, the brilliant team from Go Wild Landscapes in #Oxfordshire have re-modelled our garden with a wildlife pond, a wildflower patch, flowering trees and climbers, and built a spectacular gazebo from Jack's Lumber so we can sit out in all weathers and enjoy it.
There are all kinds of interesting #plants emerging already! The #greenhouse went in last week, and now I'm ready to grow tomatoes. π
Since we moved in less that 5 months ago we've had one project after another on the go, and this completes the effort. *Phew!*
See the second video in replies to see the garden complete! And keep watching to see our big fat orange cat Skipper. She loves it!
