Apparently, all those people missed the fact that they were looking at the output of a climate model, not actually measured temperatures. Only one news outlet, The Associated Press, bothered to print a sensible caveat…The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration distanced itself from the designation, compiled by the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, which uses satellite data and computer simulations to measure the world’s condition….
The AP updated its story on July 7th to include this single yet very important paragraph: “NOAA, whose figures are considered the gold standard in climate data, said in a statement Thursday that it cannot validate the unofficial numbers. It noted that the reanalyzer uses model output data, which it called ‘not suitable’ as substitutes for actual temperatures and climate records. The agency monitors global temperatures and records on a monthly and an annual basis, not daily.”
So, in the space of two days, we went from temperature data that was “totally unprecedented and terrifying,” to temperature data that was not suitable for purpose.
‘Supposed’ Record Temperature In China Not All It Seems– Paul Homewood: “There is a highly coordinated effort taking place to persuade the public that the world’s climate is somehow out of control, with extreme weather everywhere and heatwaves on every continent.” … “Quite clearly, any record temperature set in the Turpan is meaningless and cannot be compared to other locations in China. It is merely the product of a micro climate. There is also a second issue here. Sanbao has no official listing or any historical data…In short we have no way of knowing whether it has been hotter in Saobao in the past, or whether the thermometer there is even properly sited and maintained.”

THis visulization of past temperatures that I have focused on is pretty powerful showing how the earth has warmed in the past. This only focuses on the United States. I have set up the data page to show

then there is the image slider.
As you move the image slider across, the year on the map changes.The furthest year back is 1895. As you move the slider to the right, the year advances. Watch the colors change on the map. Now the climate baseline is 1901 to 2000. So the baseline is the average of 1901 to 2000 data set.
Move that slider to 1895 and the whole United States is all blue. Not a spec of red on it. As you slide across the years there is variation of red and blues and over time the red becomes more and more predominant.
This part is mainly looking at temperatures across the United States. And they also do the world. Its very easy to plug in temperatures from across the world and see where we are compared to the past.
The pure rubbish in this is that you are quoting WUWT. I know WUWT to be strongly rooted in climate denial.
