The headline doesn't say "ever", it says "on record". That's widely understood to mean "since accurate temperature records began", and doesn't include the fact that the earth was known to be far warmer in former aeons (we certainly don't have any records of what the average temperature was on any given day then).

- wizofaus 3y ago> HN's editorialised version does not say that. True, "on record" was elided, but nor does it say "ever". And given the readership of HN I doubt it was done for sensationalist purposes, purely space-saving. > So the problem is? None, that I can see - it was you that claimed the headline was "factually incorrect".
