2025 adds another dark stripe to the climate stripes.

New data released today, show that 2025 was Earth’s third warmest year on record, continuing an unprecedented run of extreme global temperatures.

Created at the University of Reading, by Professor Ed Hawkins, the climate stripes show how average global temperatures have changed over time, with red stripes marking hotter than average years.

The latest update confirms that the last 11 years have been the warmest ever recorded.
Warmer temperatures bring real impacts, from more intense heatwaves to increased flooding risk.

As the University enters its second century, this work highlights our renewed commitment to climate science that informs understanding and supports action around the world.

Please sign and share this petition and encourage everyone you know to ditch the w**d killers, pesticides and slug pellets in their gardens

The results of the Big Butterfly Count have shown it's been an average year for butterflies, and with many species in long-term decline, it's going to take more than a sunny spell to turn things around 🦋📉

However, there is a simple way you can take action to help butterflies recover.

By signing our open letter to UK retailers, together we can create a healthier environment for butterflies by asking them to remove synthetic pesticides from sale 👇
