the data only goes back to 1979 and has not yet been verified by NOAA which has data going back to 1880.

There's a whole hot world outside of America who don't need to wait for its underfunded organizations to get around to validating the data.

But I get it. The news is dire. It's neat to cling to uncertainty in times like this unless you lived in Lytton
