The three hottest years for maximum monthly temperatures in the US were 1936, 1934 and 1901.
The graph below shows the unknown adjustments which NOAA makes – discussed in the Paul Homewood’s article below. Note the bizarro adjustment in 2012.

They seem to be pretty open about why they are adjusted, and it makes perfect sense why they should be. The math is going to go over Steven’s head though.
Don’t be a moron. The fact that there may be theoretical basis for adjustment in no way validates that their actual adjustments are valid, and the actual adjustments are about 3X what they claim.
Looks like all that went right over your head.

The effects of UHI are hugely underestimated and it is fair to say that there is no desire to come to grips with this as it fits the current dogma.
As our cities heat up as population density grows the temp reading will go up too, what a wonderful self fulfilling prophecy AGW is.
