Global Temperature Records
Cluster debates the validity of claims about record high global temperatures, with skeptics citing longer historical records, geological data, and sources like NASA/NOAA to argue against cherry-picking recent baselines.

Doesn't seem to be that way according to the global temperature tab one click away.https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/
You have scientifically accurate weather records from at least the 1920's onwards. Of all the temperature measurements on record you have decided to choose two single datapoints from two semi-tropical locations with low yearly thermal amplitudes.I genuinely cannot tell if this is ill-intent or an internal struggle to revisit your previously held opinions when faced with the body of evidence of all the data collected after the industrial revolution.
Ask NOAA for their temperature records going back a century and see if it's normal and cyclical instead of their cherry picked data from 1979 onwards.
"highest in recorded history" is quite a misleading statement. What if used daily measurements instead? Maybe the peak would have been some other time. What if you looked at specific places, their peaks would all be at different times, and many would be wildly far from that baseline by tens of degrees C. What if you averaged over a whole year instead of just a month? This peak will surely flatten out if you do that. What if you averaged over several years or any other time period? So i
Please provide a source for your claim regarding the alleged increased temperature.
"Visualizing temperatures around the world over the last 75 - 100 years" would be a better title for HN.
Here you have the last 100 years, it's not better:https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/...
For me, the best visualation of temperature change over the last 170 years was the graphic in this article[1]Going by that graphic, I doubt very much that it was an anomaly.[1] https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2024-10-10/temporary-ove...
The record accounts for more history than you are giving it credit for [0].[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_temperature_record
Is this your data source on that being less than 1? https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/...It looks like the trend is pretty obvious if not the magnitude.
