Five Things to Know About Climate Change in 2025 | Climate Central Here are five ways that carbon pollution from fossil fuels made record heat, hurricanes, fires, and floods worse in 2025, disrupting lives in the U.S. and beyond.

A Climate Central analysis shows that this unusual holiday warmth, running 20°F to 35°F above average, is at least two to three times more likely to occur due to human-caused carbon pollution.
