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.

Direct temperature measurements go back century or so, but proxies for temperature go back much further. Error bars may be larger but it's not like there's nothing to base the models on.
