@Walter Hinteler,
The Copernicus climate service reports a historic negative record. The sea ice extent continues to shrink significantly. This will fuel the climate crisis.

February 2025 highlights:

• February 2025 was the third warmest February globally, with an average ERA5 surface air temperature of 13.36°C, 0.63°C above the 1991-2020 average for February, and only marginally warmer, by 0.03°C, than the fourth warmest of 2020.

• February 2025 was 1.59°C above the estimated 1850-1900 average used to define the pre-industrial level and was the 19th month in the last 20 months for which the global-average surface air temperature was more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level.

• The average temperature over European land for February 2025 was 0.44°C, 0.40°C above the 1991-2020 average for February, ranking it well outside the 10 warmest months of February for Europe.

• The average sea surface temperature (SST) for February 2025 over 60°S–60°N was 20.88°C, the second-highest value on record for the month, 0.18°C below the February 2024 record.

• Arctic sea ice reached its lowest monthly extent for February, at 8% below average. This marks the third consecutive month in which the sea ice extent has set a record for the corresponding month.

• In February 2025, Europe saw predominantly below-average precipitation; this coincided with below-average surface soil moisture in much of central and eastern Europe, south-eastern Spain and Türkiye.

In western Germany, a case against energy company RWE could set a worldwide precedent for corporate responsibility and climate damages. What exactly is at stake?

A report from the World Meteorological Organization confirms that 2024 was the hottest year on record and the first year to be more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above the preindustrial era.
