Original Note:
The post makes an incorrect implication. While the 1976 heatwave was notable in Europe, the GLOBAL temperature anomaly in 2024 was 1.35°C above 1976: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/global-temperature-anomalies/anomalies Recent UK heatwaves e.g. in 2022 recorded temps 4.4C (11.5%) higher than in 1976 - more evidence for climate change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_British_Isles_heatwave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_United_Kingdom_heatwaves https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/world-of-change/global-temperatures https://climate.metoffice.cloud/current_warming.html https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_monthly/?dm_id=world_60s-60n&var_id=sstanom
