You can use the same website to research temperature records wherever you like.
I live in Michigan, so Michigan is of interest to me, but I have also looked elsewhere, avoiding areas that have experienced urbanization and industrialization (cow pastures are best), and I just don`t see a pattern of warming coinciding with increased atmospheric CO2.
In fact, it appears, in most cases, that temperatures have declined over the past eighty some years in remote areas.
If CO2 drives global warming, the same CO2 that is increasing the temperature in Jakarta, Indonesia should be increasing the temperature in Lola, Kansas.
On record since WHEN? The EARTH IS 4+ BILLION years old. We have kept records for what....200 years? Jeez folks...get a grip!
I read an article today that said I-95 was the shoreline of an ocean a couple MILLION years ago.. climate change is nothing new. I won't debate whether we SHOULD do anything about it...but I will say we CANNOT affect the global climate at all.
4+ billion? I thought you people believe the earth is 6,000 years old when god created the universe and we are all descendants of adam and eve?
There are small changes in global annual average trends between the old and new version. The global land 1880-2014 annual average trend increased from 0.97°C/century to 1.00°C/Century.

I honestly don't care if the causes were man made or the end of an ice age. It's probably both. That said, as a species, we've got to prepare for it. The so-called drout in the southwest, the fires....
I don't think it's a drout. I think it's the new normal.
"No. Even if NOAA did not have weather observing stations across the United States, the impacts of the warming are clear and present. For example, lake and river ice is melting earlier in the spring and forming later in the fall"
"The year's lake ice was one for the record books. This was the latest complete melt on the Great Lakes since NOAA started keeping records back in the 1970s. The season also saw the second-highest amount of ice ever recorded, with just over 92% covering the five bodies of water at the beginning of March, coming close to the all-time record 94% coverage seen in 1979. This year also broke the record for the most ice seen so late in the season, with over one-third of the lakes still covered in ice on April 23."
"Although the 2013-14 winter came in second place to 1979's all-time record extent of 94.7%, last winter's ice broke the record for its longevity. Incredibly, ice lasted until June 5th on Lake Superior!"
