I am primarily attributing it to that, especially since it’s affecting large parts of europe and also just the fact that it’s been a general trend. I just suck at phrasing sometimes.

My main point was really just that 30° in central europe has not been weird in the last 100 years.

Calling it global warming isn’t stupid, the globe is warming. It doesn’t mean “everywhere is warming” but “the global average is warming”.

40 was stupidly high and rare and now it’s still stupidly high but less rare and people very much still complain about it, 30 wasn’t super rare my entire life and i still complain about anything over 25 lol.

Local weather doesn’t mean much anyway, hottest 2 weeks on earth and where I live has been mostly pretty chill with 2 days that were actually hot (and those still only went to like 31). Pretty much the way i remember summer commonly being a while ago.

And just to be clear i am in no way trying to pretend climate change isn’t real, it’s real and we’re all royally fucked, but 30° really isn’t anything new and also saying “it was 40 degrees for a week” on its own doesn’t really say more than “global warming can’t be real it was -10 last week”.

My issue with hot weather is that around 25°C i run out of layers to remove to stay comfortable, and I can’t even get to that point if I’m anywhere outside my own home because running around naked in public is sadly not socially acceptable. So when temps reach 35 outdoors I just feel like dying as even indoors tends to heat up to >30 if the temps stay for a few days.
