The EU Copernicus Climate Change Service announced Tuesday that Europe witnessed its hottest summer on record this year.
The record-breaking summer heat comes amid growing warnings from climate scientists that time is running out to prevent the worst effects of climate change.
Copernicus found the average temperature from June to August this year was close to 1 degree Celsius above the 1991-2020 average.
The service said this summer was the warmest in its dataset, which goes back to 1950. …

Hint to the EU:
Summer is not over yet (and you are lying)!
During the meanwhilst, San Antonio still hasn’t recorded a high of 100F this summer.
Hotter than that summer during which 15,000 elderly (supposedly) died in France because of high temperatures during summer vacation?
So? Next year it’ll probably be cooler. It’s called weather.
Watched some Golf from Scotland and everyone wore heavy clothes so I guess Scotland is not in Europe ,LOL
Something tells me that the real Copernicus would be dead against something as unscientific as the “climate change service” abomination that the EU had the temerity to name after him.
Greta will fix it!
even with fudging the numbers they could only come up with a one degree increase?
One thing I've learned: climate scientists cherry pick their dates they use for comparisons. Why only go back to 1991? They say they have data going back to 1950. But they used 1991 to 2020 as the limited set the compared themselves to? Fishy.
Exactly as you correctly italicized. They literally erased climate records before the 1950s which now gives them the ability to write scary headlines like, “hottest on record”. Conveniently, the records omit the 1930s which were even hotter for most of the decade. Many of those records remain unbroken, but if you simply exclude that data, why then almost every thing will be the hottest on record. Epic deception.
Science these days is basically how to fix up complex scams to fleece the riches produced by free markets.
warmest in its dataset, which goes back to 1950. so what happen in 1950 , nuclear tests ? LOL
That can only mean winter is the time to go there.
> close to 1 degree Celsius above the 1991-2020 average. <
Every measurement has an estimate of uncertainty. Such values can easily be calculated. So what’s the estimate of uncertainty here? It might be on the order of +/- 1 degree Celsius, or more.
Such an estimate of uncertainty would render the given measurement meaningless.
It’s always the hottest (while ignoring records).
guess there wasn’t any weather before 1950
Come on Man, of course it’s warmer, we just came out of an ICE AGE in 1983.
Yeah; rainy in the morning and sunny in the evening everywhere. Year-round farming, obviously, and even tropical weather as far north as Hudson Bay.
Sure, Jan.
