You seem to be deep in denial.

These are not projections. These are measurements.

These are known trends from the past century. The trend is accelerating in what seems to be an exponential pattern.

We are experiencing record heat in northern Europe, with temperatures in line with what a couple of decades ago would be expected in north Africa during the summer.

Southern Europe is already experiencing massive droughts in major urban centers.

Nope. They color coded the maps differently, but the temperatures are in line with what is normal for that part of the world.

> Southern Europe is already experiencing massive droughts in major urban centers.

But a quick we search tells me: "Southern Europe is currently experiencing wetter-than-average conditions"

Where is rainfall down so much that there are "massive droughts" in Southern Europe?

Please check back in 5 years. The temperatures in the NiƱo 3.4 region of the equatorial Pacific will be below the 100-year average by then.
