Oliver Farry is pleased to welcome Claire Ransom, coordinator of the WMO's State of the Global Climate 2025 report. Ransom warns that the planet is not only warming, but entering a state of energy imbalance.

This process is not only accelerating sea-level rise, but committing the Earth to centuries, even millennia, of a planetary shift.
