Steven, you forgot to add the CO2 multilplier to modern temperatures. It’s much like the ‘Heat Index’, except that it only applies to post 1979 weather. 113 F only felt like 93 F, because the CO2 of the pre-satellite era was harmless. For the past three decades we have emitted so much anti-gaian CO2, that 111 F now feels like rape.
You are going to be accused of “Cherry Picking again!
