If you are James Hansen, you get to just make numbers up and have the press believe you.
The research by a man often called the “godfather of global warming” says that, from the 1950s through the 1980s, the likelihood of such sweltering temperatures occurring was rarer than 1 in 300. Now, the odds are closer to 1 in 10, according to the study by James Hansen. The NASA scientist says that statistically, what’s happening is not random or normal, but pure and simple climate change.

Hansen is either an idiot, a liar, or both. The odds of hot weather in the US have decreased considerably.
“By 1934, the soil was like fine-sifted flour and the heat made it dangerous to go outside many days. In Vinita, OK, the temperature soared above 100 degrees for 35 consecutive days. On day 36, it reached 117 degrees.”

If the 30’s weren’t so hot there would be no trend.
Yes there would. All of the decades from 1910 to 1940 were hotter.
