That they’re outliers of what has been the norm for centuries is the entire point. Saying “this is the new normal” is, as you might surmise, normalizing it.
I mean, it is the new normal? None of us (hopefully) want it to be, but it’s the reality we have to deal with, unless the laws of physics that make thermometers work suddenly changed and no one noticed
Idk when record-breaking high temperatures are showing up weekly I think they stop being “extreme” data points
Outliers aren’t outliers anymore when all the measurements are in that range

It looks like you both basically agree
I get what you’re saying. And you’re right. It about “how often”
If you have many outliers in rather small interval they stop being outliers and indicate a trend.
