Europe’s climate warming at twice rate of global average, claims WMO

From the Guardian:
 
Temperatures in Europe have increased at more than twice the global average in the last 30 years, according to a report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

The effects of this warming are already being seen, with droughts, wildfires and ice melts taking place across the continent. The European State of the Climate report, produced with the EU’s Copernicus service, warns that as the warming trend continues, exceptional heat, wildfires, floods and other climate breakdown outcomes will affect society, economies and ecosystems.

From 1991 to 2021, temperatures in Europe have warmed at an average rate of about 0.5C a decade. This has had physical results: Alpine glaciers lost 30 metres in ice thickness between 1997 and 2021, while the Greenland ice sheet has also been melting, contributing to sea level rise. In summer 2021, Greenland had its first ever recorded rainfall at its highest point, Summit station.

Can "global warming" pick and choose where it will create the most problems?

Walt Disney is spinning in his grave. He thought pixie dust could do anything and everything magical. If he had only realized at the time that he should have used global warming instead.

I could be wrong but I seem to recall the Gaia worshipers trying this same stupid claim for other parts of the world. Looking at the predictions for Europe's winter they run from average to slightly warmer and some are linking that to la Nina not freakin global warming, as if there have never been warmer winters in the past. This winter if it's warmer will be a good thing for Europeans.

Whew! I'm glad! That will really help them out this winter when there ain't no heat.
