That right there is a big misrepresentation of the facts.
In truth climate record keeping began at the earliest 40 years ago.
The reality of 140 years ago there would have been at most a few hundred weather stations that kept detailed daily data. That data would have been almost strictly surface temperature data.
Ocean temperatures would be rare indeed.
Polar temperatures would be even more rare.
This article is pure fabrication and propaganda.
Sorry Climate Warmist, the truth is that Climate Science is still in its infancy.
Hottest...January.
“The reality of 140 years ago there would have been at most a few hundred weather stations that kept detailed daily data.”
And their models are based on modern (presumably) calibrated instruments reading temps in the 100ths of a degree. One can only imagine the relative crudeness and variance of outdoor thermometers world-wide in 1880.
