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.

Sure, there were very high temperatures in the Earth past. There were higher CO2 levels too. The problem is the acceleration, the rate of change. There never were such changes in such short time period as there are today. You have a quant in your nickname, I'm pretty sure you can understand what this means. To make an analogy - you have an oven and it's temperature is currently 150C, way less than the maximum observed 250C. But the problem is that the regulator is set to Max now.
