My people, make we gist about wetin scientists don talk! E be say 2025 na the third hottest year wey planet don see since dem start to dey record temperature. E dey carry some hot hot gist, no be small!
As we dey enter January 2026, scientists for EU and US come confirm say this past year no be joke o. Every year wey don pass since 2023 don dey make record for heat, and 2025 no gree carry last. Na wah!
Dem run the numbers and find out say average temperature don pass 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels for three years straight. Dis one na serious matter, because we dey close to level wey fit cause wahala. E mean say extreme weather go dey trend, from heatwave wey fit bake yam to floods wey fit carry entire community away!
And you sabi say for this temperature wahala, dem don also notice that 2024 be the hottest so far with 1.6C. Now dem dey reason say 2026 fit still break record, no be play!
Samantha Burgess wey be climate head for ECMWF talk say, ‘Every little degree dey matter,’ and if dem no take am easy, wetin we dey experience go change from bad to worse. E go be like say Father Christmas no go visit us again!
As e be now, politics fit carry leg enter am; U.S. President Donaldo Trump don comot from some international agreements wey fit help lessen greenhouse emissions. Na im be say the wahala wey dey come fit worse if we no get sense and start to reduce our emissions fast!
The truth wey dey ground be say, the Earth dey heat up fast fast! If we no change our ways, we fit reach the 1.5C limit by the end of this decade – ten years earlier than wey dem think. Dis one be like saying ‘fire on the mountain’!
Some respective weather conditions fit still make things dey hot, but dis one no go stop see the heat wey don waka come. Countries like Spain and Japan don dey experience heat wey fit tear clothes, and e don jam wahala for places wey never expect am!
Na who go fit save us from dis one? Environmental experts dey call for quick action, but many people still dey slack. ‘We dey listen to the Earth, e dey shout make we no increase this carbon kamikaze,’ na wetin experts dey talk.
So, my people, take am as advice! Make we step up our game, no be only to dey chop suya and drink beer. We gatz dey look after our planet too, because dis heat dey bite like snake! Make e no be too late before we hear ‘wahala’ from the Earth!
