We just had the World's Hottest Day!, page-61

Sailor,
The global measuring stations are so inaccurately sited and deficient in large areas and the temperatures adjusted (hypothesized ) to cover areas where there are no stations for hundreds of kilometres that the hottest day concept is just an artificial tool of the climate cultists to cower citizens into further restrictions on their formerly comfortable lives.
Error of measurement probably at least .5 deg C.
World bushfires areas burnt has declined globally over the last thirty years.
