As the southwestern United States endures an oppressive heat wave that has produced triple-digit temperatures in many areas this week, experts say records could soon fall.
Among them: the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth.
The National Weather Service is forecasting a high temperature of 130 to 132 degrees in California’s Death Valley on Sunday.
If that occurs, it would “either tie or break [the] record for the hottest temperature reliably measured on Earth,” says Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The main climate change we’ve experienced the past few decades are changes in the political climate.
It’s a typical warm July around here.
Weird, you would not think that happen in the summer ...
Nobody ever seems willing to commit to an ideal global average temperature which begs the question,, "How do we know it's getting too hot?"
What new faggotry is this? I noticed this new thingy a few days ago. Since when did the Elites develop this new global temperature thermometer. It reports all temperatures over the Earth in realtime and averages them instantly?
People rarely moved to southern states before air conditioning was invented.
The only solution to [fill in latest NWO manufactured “crisis” here] is to abolish free market capitalism and adopt a global socialist command economy.
so would Tyrannosaurus Rex
How would they know?
Total bull s…
The sky is falling! The sky is falling! /s
Those of us with COPD have no choice.
It’s called summer in the Northern Hemisphere. STOP LYING!!!
On July 10 1913, The temperature in Death Valley was measured at 136 degrees. It was one of five straight days with temperatures of 129 or better. You have to watch these media flunkies and their paid attention whores because they will lie their a&& off to you.
And tell them to stop adding to the temperature with the index stuff.
This assertion is absurd. The Earth was almost certainly was hotter in the 1930s heat wave than now not to mention the times its been far hotter in the more ancient temp records (to whatever extent we can trust the accuracy of how science has estimated them).
One may ask then why when we look at graphs published by NOAA that it shows it being hotter now than the 1930s? Easy. The data was altered to make it so. Conspiracy theory? Nope. If one digs one finds the data shown is NOT the raw readings. The raw data shows it hotter in the 30s than it is now. However over time adjustments have been made to the data. These adjustments are justified by saying they are needed to correct for biases in the original data. These adjustments always get bigger the more the raw data does not support climate alarmism. These adjustments are always in one direction: making it colder in the past and warmer now.
Recent warming is not based on data, only on adjustments.
Yes, development in Death Valley has really taken off in recent years
Its hot.
Highest spot temperature measured, but shouldn’t get too excited.
That 309 year snippet of time in history is far from authoritative when measuring "Earth's Hottest Temperature".
(First modern accurate thermometer invented in 1714).
