  That’s the thing about history…

    Yeah, I didn’t know history started in 1925. Title should be “since 1925.”

      1925 was a single data point in the article, not the earliest recorded comparing year. In the chart near the top it shows 1902 having the 4th hottest may.

        Ah, okay. Thanks, I missed that.

      The earth was once hot enough that nothing could live on its surface. The sun is just biding its time until it engulfs the planet in fiery destruction again. At a long enough timescale records for heat and (eventually) cold become meaningless, but the overall trends recently doesn't look great. I'd put money on this recent record being broken pretty quickly.

    The things about history: - It's always being added to (parent comment) - It's nothing but a fable agreed upon - Napoleon - It repeats itself - It's written by the victors - Churchill - It's only remembered by the vanquished - We are not makers of history, we are make of history - MLK Jr And my personal favorite found when researching for this comment: "The very ink with which history is written is merely fluid prejudice." - Mark Twain Reference: https://www.thoughtco.com/famous-history-quotes-2832302 https://www.thoughtco.com/famous-history-quotes-2832302
