Young fella, you should learn that if you're going to provide evidence
to support your case, then you should make certain that that evidence
actually supports your position. Otherwise, you look, well, you can
answer that yourself.

Since I have offered no "position" regarding the implications of the
data, you might as well grow up.

Below are the record high temperatures in Indio CA for the first 10
days of September and the year that record was set.
118 1950
122 1950
118 1952
118 1947
115 1945
114 1952
114 1957
116 1977
117 1993
116 1937

Now, you explain to us your rationale for attempting to convince us
that because the temperature in Indio reached 116 on August 31st of
this year it's evidence of global warming.

Where did I try and convince anybody that one data point proved anything?

Quite frankly, I think it's meaningless unless you're attempting to
prove that the opposite is true.

Quite frankly, I think you are missing the pattern here. There are
several locations that have set records for monthly average high
temperatures as well as those which set daily highs. I just don't
report those.
