In March 2025, Earth experienced its 3rd-warmest March on record. This was accompanied by the end of La Niña conditions and a significant event in the Arctic, with its lowest seasonal maximum in ice extent ever recorded. The decline in Arctic ice is indicative of the ongoing impact of climate change on polar regions, with far-reaching implications for global sea levels and weather patterns. The combination of these factors underscores the urgency of addressing climate change and its effects on crucial ecological systems.
