The last 10 years have been the warmest on record, characterised by devastating and extreme weather.

Now, a report warns climate change really is spiralling out of control.

Temperatures are expected to continue at or near record levels for the next five years .

If this trend continues, there will be even more harmful heatwaves, severe rainfall and floods, intense droughts, melting ice and rising sea levels.

Earth is edging closer to the threshold considered a critical tipping point for catastrophic climate consequences.

The global CO2 concentration hit 420 parts per million ( ppm ) last year .

That is 2.3 ppm higher than in 2022 and 151 per cent of the level before industrialisation started adding large amounts of CO2 into the air.

In 2024 ocean temperatures were also at their highest level in the 65 years in which they have been recorded.

Antarctic sea ice reached its second -lowest extent ever recorded.
