From the BBC:
Europe is heating faster than the global average as new data indicates that last year was the warmest on record.
While globally the year was the second warmest, a series of heatwaves helped push the region to a new high mark. Over the past five years, global temperatures were, on average, just over 1C warmer than at the end of the 19th century.
Because as is well known, there are no European temperature records from before 1979. The Central England Temperature record going back to 1659 is an urban myth.
Jeez.

The chart starts in 1979 for no stated reason except that 20 is a round number, and it starts 3 years after the 1976 UK heat wave.
The piece also says that the number of sunshine hours was the largest on record, so maybe global warming causes sunshine.
But surely sunshine, when your mum stops you going into the sun, is good?
Are we not on a long term warming trend anyway, since the Little Ice Age of the 17th and 18th centuries? And as a natural warming trend has been in place since about 1850, you'd expect the present to indeed be warmer than the past?
Din, it starts in the 1970s because those years were slightly below trend, things had been cooling slightly since the 1940s.
AKH, good logic.
G, explain?
S, to paraphrase "It has got warmer since it was unusually cold". Exactly.
That is why they have to airbrush MWP and LIA out of history, which show up on longer term non-biased charts and other historic evidence. They show that while we are now towards the upper end in terms of temperatures, it is still within normal range.
S, no, no, it's man made, it has to be - look at the CO2 levels - the science is settled - Big Oil - the 1% - Donald Trump - Greta Thunberg and her yacht - the illuminati - world domination - rant, rage, foam....
The Sub headline is Europe's Heatwaves. "a series of heatwaves" . Well a heat "wave" i s a temperature exceptional to the norm and and so literally speaking a heatwave can not also be indicative of a trend. These articles are not serious as the language used is so sloppy it loses specific meaning . And it is not neutral "helped" "push" temperatures" and sunlight that "hit" Europe.
B, science denier! People who understand the Barometric Formula are NOT scientists! Donald Trump snuck that into the text books.
Din, the language is not neutral, is it?
