Scientists have a dire new warning about the state of the planet

As 2025 winds down, climate scientists aren’t tallying resolutions — they’re tallying red flags. A new global report warns that Earth’s “vital signs” are flashing danger, with record heat, vanishing ice, dying coral, and forests burning at unprecedented rates. Twenty-two of 34 climate indicators have hit record extremes, signaling that the planet’s systems are buckling under human pressure. Yet amid the alarm, researchers stress one point of hope: it’s not too late, but the window for meaningful action is closing fast. Matt Simon with Grist has the full story.
