8.3
On Jan. 12, 2026, analysts reported 2025 was the second-hottest year on record and the warmest La Niña year, with oceans absorbing unprecedented heat. U.S. emissions rose about 2% amid federal rollbacks and higher coal use, while China added over 300 gigawatts of wind and solar and exported roughly $200 billion in clean technologies. The contrast heightens pressure on U.S. permitting reform and congressional climate legislation in 2026.
