Europe is warming twice as fast as the global average.

Omissions

• The 'twice as fast' figure refers to the rate of warming since the mid-1990s / since 1980, not to a single year; the Copernicus report specifies a warming rate of about 0.56°C per decade for Europe versus roughly half that globally.
• The claim uses 'Europe' (the continent, as defined by Copernicus/WMO) rather than the narrower 'European Union'; the entity field lists the EU, but the underlying statistic is continental.
• Europe's absolute warming (~2.5°C above pre-industrial) is more than double the global mean (~1.3-1.5°C), which is the concrete basis for the 'twice as fast' characterisation.
