While it's valid to question the record-breaking temperatures reported in the article due to changing measurement practices over time, it's important to consider the broader context. The lack of long-term historical records may limit direct comparisons, but climate scientists use statistical techniques to account for these limitations. Overall, while individual data points have their uncertainties, the article's message aligns with the consensus among scientists about the long-term trend of global warming driven by human activities.
