It's quite misleading to take a two week period and describe it as "last winter". No wonder people give blank looks, it was a transient spike that means nothing. The idea everyone should feel sad is based on arguments about long term averages.
But they were almost exactly average in February. You're reading far too much into noise. The idea of a climate crisis is built on arguments about trends that span hundreds of years, not two weeks.
OK, I see where you are getting it from now.

Also just look at the first months of 2026 in the link you shared - the average temperatures are up to 15C higher in March!

"They were nearly the same average for exactly one day in February" says the guy lecturing me on reading noise.
