From BBC Learning English, this is Learning English from the News, our podcast about the news headlines.
In this programme, planet Earth is being pushed beyond its limits.
That's according to the UN.
Hello, I'm Phil and I'm Becca.
In this podcast, we look at one big news story and the vocabulary in the headlines that will help you understand it.
You can find all the vocabulary and the headlines from this episode
as well as a free worksheet on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
So let's hear more about this story.
2015 to 2025 were the hottest 11 years ever recorded, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
However, the heat that we feel is actually only 1% of the increase of heat energy that has happened.
91% of this heat energy is stored in the ocean, the impact of which is not fully understood.
However, sea levels are at a record high and sea ice is at its third lowest level ever.
The level of greenhouse gases means that far more energy comes into the atmosphere from the sun than can leave it.
It's not balanced.
Our first headline is about this.
This headline is from RTE, an Irish news broadcaster.
Earth's climate shows energy imbalance.
That headline again from RTE, an Irish news broadcaster.
Earth's climate shows energy imbalance.
This headline is saying that the climate is showing that too much heat energy is trapped in the Earth's atmosphere.
