The claim
Deze grafiek toont aan dat het in de jaren dertig het warmer was dan nu.
Original publisher’s rating
Er ontbreekt hier belangrijke context: de gemiddelde temperatuur is wel degelijk sinds de jaren dertig gestegen. Daarnaast komen weersextremen steeds vaker voor, in België en wereldwijd. De selectief gebruikte cijfers kunnen het tegendeel niet bewijzen.

The graph shows the highest temperature recorded in each May in the United States, not average temperatures, so it cannot establish that it was warmer in the 1930s than now. The review says average temperatures have risen over recent decades and that isolated extremes do not disprove climate change.[S1]
Additional context
Belgium’s KMI data show that 2022 was the warmest year on record in Ukkel since measurements began in 1833, with an average annual temperature of 12.2°C. [S1]
