Tampering with the temperature record is one of many ways the rent-seekers in the Climate Cult keep the gravy flowing, but there are a lot of records. Here’s one, compiled at infoplease.com sourced from the National Climate Data Center in Ashville, NC, showing the hottest recorded day in every U.S. state by year.
If the doomsayers are correct, we should see a frightening number of states with their hottest days ever recorded in recent decades. But we don’t.
In fact, there are only six states (out of 57, right Mr. Obama?) that set a record in the 1990’s and none in the 21st century.

This paints a very different picture, at least in America, of the ‘State’ of global warming.
Over at the RCSB a commenter graphed the data by decade which looks like this.
That is consistent with most of the temperature data reported by the news of the day and before any of it was ‘softened’ by rent-seekers.
Not to worry. The experts are on it and as soon as they can get away with it they will be massaging these numbers to lessen the heat of the past so that they can plunder you to finance their cult tomorrow.
