‘Climate change is here’: Experts warn environmental crisis is decades ahead of forecasts
Melting glaciers, coastal areas wiped off the map and regular 40C heat in Europe. Climate experts warn the gloomy predictions of long term environmental change are no longer the future – they are already here.
Last year was the third hottest on record, with the World Meteorological Organization this week warning that 2025 continued a run of “extraordinary” global temperatures. The EU has said the Paris climate agreement of 1.5C could be broken before 2030, a decade sooner than expected.
“It is alarming because we are seeing the types of events that scientists didn’t consider would impact us in 2025 or this decade,” Samantha Burgess, deputy director of Europe’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, tells The Independent.
Are these the same people who told us that Manhattan would be underwater right now? That California and Australia were in permadroughts? That the Arctic would be ice free?
“Climate change is here. We are seeing event classes [today] that were forecast in climate models for the 2050s, 2060s, and 2070s.”
They have so many models that fit every scenario they’re wanting to fearmonger about.
The start of 2025 saw the catastrophic devastation caused by the California wildfires, killing up to 440 people and inflicting unprecedented economic losses in excess of $40bn, according to Swiss Re.
It was an above average year for hurricane activity with three category 5 hurricanes in the North Atlantic for the first time in twenty years. That includes the historic Hurricane Melissa, setting records for being one of the strongest storms in the Atlantic this century.
The wildfires were caused by human and government incompetence, and possibly arson, not a slight increase in global temperatures over 175 years. Hurricanes happen. Can we compare this to what happened during the warm and cool periods over the last 8,000 years, because, if you can’t, that’s not science. But, then, this is a cult, not science.
“It was not a peak peril year,” says Balz Grollimund, head of catastrophe perils at Swiss Re. “We haven’t had any big hurricane, flood, or earthquake losses, but 2025 still made it to an average loss year.
Is he adding earthquakes into climate doom, or, just discussing natural disasters?
Fox News has learned federal prosecutors are investigating both Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly impeding law enforcement efforts in the blue state.
Passengers can do their bit to help monitor climate change during a new citizen science project aboard Aurora Expeditions’ Antarctica cruises.
Last month, as U.S. forces were massing off Venezuela, government officials here — the political heirs to Hugo Chávez, founder of the country’s socialist state — vowed American intervention would ignite 100 years of war. “If they attack Venezuela,” one senior official said, “not a single drop of oil can leave here for the United States.”
Britain risks electricity rationing by the next general election unless its fleet of ageing gas-fired power stations is urgently upgraded, a new report has warned.
