All high temperature data, record warm temperatures, etc, come from computer models--not real recorded data. It is from these models that the president, congress, the EPA, and all the environmentalists get all riled up about. But these computer models always come out way high, they do not reflect reality. Essentially, computer models are worthless, except for propaganda purposes.
