With the recent projection by NASA (National Alarm and Surprise Association) that summertime temps are going to be in the 132deg range according to the models, I thought it might be fun to share this one with ya!
"The chart plots the number of record high temperatures by year for all 50 states. There is a 10-year trendline to help smooth out the data. It clearly shows that, for the U.S., the last 10 years were really no hotter than average (600 data points in 120 years = 5 per year) in creating record high temperatures. It might be worthwhile to take a look at other land masses in this way."

You might note that Roger Pielke has some input!
