Original Note:
This 'record' is not planet Earth's hottest day ever. It only falls within a data set which was established in 1979. Earth is approx. 4.54 billion yrs old and average temperatures have been higher multiple times. Global temperatures today are well below historic means. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/07/06/highest-global-temperature-ever-no-records-only-go-back-to-1979/ https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/whats-hottest-earths-ever-been https://www.smithsonianmag.com/blogs/national-museum-of-natural-history/2018/03/23/heres-how-scientists-reconstruct-earths-past-climates/
