More records set in 1900 than all the years from 1937-2011. Stop the show, that represents catastrophic warming! (extreme sarc.) We should all be charged with crimes against humanity for questioning Hansen’s rigged data.
extreme heat in the 1930s would make some sense given the dust bowl was in it’s prime during that period of time, and the lack of water, and it’s vitality as an essential greenhouse, and without its property of high heat content, allowed temperatures to soar, to levels still way higher than anything that’s occuring today.
