The European Union’s Copernicus Earth Observation Program released a few charts summarizing temperatures in 2025.
It was the third warmest year on record.
All monthly temperature records have been broken over the past 3 years.
Surface temperatures continued to rise.
Sea ice continued to decline.
And we’ll breach +1.5 degrees C by the end of the decade.
The facts are clear.
The question, of course, is – what will we do about it?
And as I think about energy as technology in 2026, one of the biggest side-effects of the AI boom and energy build out is that it might actually galvanize an unlikely surge of clean energy and electrification to make the picture in the next decade a bit better.
