Most temperature "records" before 1950 are regarded as suspect, due to a discarded methodology in recording these temps.

So-called "records" from the Dust Bowl year of 1936 can't be validated by modern means, and should by rejected. All-time state high temps that year include scorching readings of 120°F in Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma, and an unbelievable 121°F in Kansas! Just these numbers alone should raise red flags.

So we got less than 75 years worth of data out of like, several billion?

And global warming narratives started by the 50s.

I think a lot of today's records/data are suspect. Take Phoenix for example. It's official temperature is taken at Sky Harbor airport, which lies in the middle of an ever expanding city sitting on the desert floor. With each passing year, the edges of metro-Phoenix creep further into the desert, replacing desert landscape with asphalt roads and tiles, concrete and other heat sinks. A temperature taken at Sky Harbor today versus 50 years ago means something different where "climate" is concerned than is being assumed.

Russellville AR hit 115 within the last ten years. NWS temp recorded at airport. 120 does not seem outrageous since was dust bowl years. Plus tho high dust bowl temps were very widespread and not just regional anomalies.

Checked and was 2011 for the 115 F.

In Europe just last week, they were taking ground temps, not air temps, and publishing them.

It would be like comparing natural grass to artificial turf, and then claiming that the turf is real grass.

You climate crazies are dumb.

tell me you've never been to West Texas without saying you've never been to West Texas.
We've hit 113° several times in the last few weeks.
You telling me topping out at 7° once or twice in a century is just impossible to believe?

It's a desert.
deserts get hot.

Yeah a pen and paper is not as accurate as a metal thermometer near an airport sending a signal to a device that sends a radio signal to a recorder miles away.
