Summer is climate hype time.

News reports are swirling with purported links between this summer’s warm temperatures and manmade climate change. The Economist magazine, in fact, actually featured climate change as its lead story this week and chimed, “this sweltering European summer would have been less than half as likely were it not for human-induced global warming.”

But according to NASA satellite measurements, global temperatures were warmer last year (including last summer) and the year before that in comparison to 2018 and this summer.

We posted an analysis of attempts to tag this summer’s heat as “climate change” at CFACT.org.
