"June broke or tied 3,215 high-temperature records across the United States." this is meaningless, really. I take it's based on the number of local observations across the country, which is somewhat tied to number of weather stations. It does look like a huge and convincing number - gosh, if it is 3215 we must be onto something! But merely increasing number of places where measurements are taken going to drive this number up. I am not suggesting the global warming is a non-issue, although this article is quite full of inconsistencies like that, as well as minor sins like not mentioning your sources - where does number "3.7 x 10-99" for the odds of increase of temperature comes from, for example?
