I don't the parent is attacking global warming. The headline doesn't lineup with past temp records. Is there something in a dust bowl heatwave that could help explain why it is virtually impossible when it clearly isn't?
When something like global warming become a religion any comment perceived as attacking itself no matter how innocent and truthful will bring out zealots looking to defend their faith. I think we should keep religion out of science.

Here's Portland since 1938 https://projects.oregonlive.com/weather/temps/ https://projects.oregonlive.com/weather/temps/ This has Portland yearly records going back to 1875 https://www.currentresults.com/Yearly-Weather/USA/OR/Portland/extreme-annual-portland-high-temperature.php https://www.currentresults.com/Yearly-Weather/USA/OR/Portlan... There's no evidence to say that the 1930s were higher in the Pacific North West (which reached a high of 105 in 1935), or that it's ever been 110, let alone 115
