* since direct record keeping began
Or, according to indirect proxy measurements, since the first agricultural revolution when humans started relying on stable climates with the invention of farming, and relying on stable sea levels by building large fixed settlements on the coasts, about 12,000 years ago.
Note that the article does mention this: "July 2023 was the hottest month in recorded history", "the average global temperature was 1.54 °C above the preindustrial average for July", etc... (emphasis mine). It's just that nuance tends to be missed in headlines.
Not that that's a good thing, but it's not like it's unique to climate reporting. If you want to have a go at editors for clickbait/hyperbolic headlines, you can probably find better examples in the politics or media coverage sections of whatever publications you prefer.
