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. …

Odd

England had it coolest and retest in decades .

I live in CenTex. We've had a handful of day over 100 degrees so far. Hard winter (February), soft summer.

Lol. It’s like the hockey stick graph. It’s just made up.

[DuncanWaring]

Warmest since 1950?

Conveniently ignoring the hell that was 1921:

Ask them gorebull warming freaks if they’d like to see Redwood trees in Greenland again.

You will get the most stupid blank vacant look you ever saw.

And somewhere else had the coolest summer on record.

It all balances out.

That’s what *average* means.

1950

In our neck of the woods today...weather people predicted 82 for high...hit 91...not to complain...but I am so tired of summer...and of the claim they can predict 24 hours, 24 days, 24 years or 240 years into the future. They cannot.

Hottest summer on record in Europe? Stay off the Eiger’s north face whatever you do.

Not a terribly impressive sample period considering the hysteria of the story.

A week, or a month from now, I’m sure

will show that this latest press release is hooey. And it won’t matter one bit. Science and truth mean nothing to these hairballs.

Copernicus Climate Change Service. They are definitely not biased in any way and certainly would not hesitate to say something that would make them not useful. They are perfectly willing to vote themselves out of existence if that were the honest thing to do. This is why I believe them.

[webheart]

They had to round up to get the full degree of temperature.

Wow, just back to 1950?

[beethovenfan]

Greta should be fixed.

Where are the best surfing beaches in Greenland?

Since 1950? Wow. A teeney, tiny, itty bitty blip on earth's lifespan. I want to hear about the climate records from 50,000BC or 2,000,000 BC. Why don't the "scientists" dig out those records and compare them to the past 50 years?

The climate was completely static before cars were invented. It’s science!

[hinckley buzzard]

One degree above average? Oh the horrors.
