The graph below plots the number of daily all-time record maximum temperatures set or tied, at the 595 GHCN HCN US stations which have been continuously active since the year 1900.
The ten hottest years all occurred before 1960, and the five hottest years all occurred during the 1930s. Recent decades have seen much less hot weather than the 1920s through the 1950s. As usual, Al Gore is lying.

Ah, but Mr. Gore would tell you that the records pre-1970 are flawed and should be adjusted downwards because the adjusted (manipulated) temperature records post 1970 are more reliable …
The urban heat island effect was much more intense in 1930 than now, thus all those temps have to be adjusted way down, even if taken in a corn field then and a suburban shopping center now (sarc).
That Noble prize was prised from a nobbled committee through mendacity.
Al Gore has successfully made a fortune by lying and terrorizing the morons (which is a self inflicted condition) of this world!
