An inaccurate table of record-high temperatures in Europe circulating online shows that a handful of records set before 1950 still stand, but also that most records in specific cities were set after 2000.
!” to imply that recent heat records set in Europe are not new.
However, the post’s implication that record-high temperatures disprove climate warming is unsupported by further evidence.
Temperatures for Europe as a whole show long-term warming trends with several countries having revised their all-time heat records over the past few years.
Historical local heat records are not evidence for or against overall climate warming.
