A misleading comparison of two European weather maps is being touted online as evidence of escalating climate change fearmongering since the COVID pandemic.
One map shows Europe coloured in a light green monotone, and icons – like a sun or clouds – hover over major cities.
Thank you,” one Facebook user wrote in their caption, suggesting the green map was published prior to the start of the pandemic in 2020 and the other since.
For instance, see the latest WeatherOnline map (here ), and the latest Wxchart for Europe (bit.ly/3DorvfH ).
Both weather maps, which are from different sources, were published before the pandemic – and the red map was published a year earlier than the green map.
