The source for the article is the Climate Change Institute at University of Maine [0].

The Institute's Climate Reanalyzer also has some visual data of historical daily sea surface temps that is referenced quite a bit these days.

Data only stretches back to the late 70s/early 80s, but many of the hottest trending years are within the last decade.

Claiming something is the hottest day on earth when your data only goes back half a century is the reason people think all these groups are little more than grifters. It’s bad science and hyperbole.

I used to think the same thing, and it was the argument that my dad would make against climate change (i.e. "we've only been tracking the temperature since the late 1800's"). But then I found out about climate proxies: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_(climate)
