lol.... according to that graphic we'll all be dead in 6 days.
Al Gore... is that you?
The real background behind the pic I posted is the following:
Due to water's higher heat storage capacity, the land masses/continents are heating up more quickly than the oceans. Therefore, in a technical sense, all land mass is indeed "warming twice as fast as the global average".
This obviously turns these headlines into a meaningless statement. They give, and are intended to give, the impression that the home country of the reader is hit particularly hard by global warming.
Therefore, I consider these headlines to be misleading propoganda, even though they are correct in a very technical, nit-picking sense.
