Why does the World Meteorological Organization, the US National Weather Service, and all the news organizations & weather services all insist that Death Valley held the hottest place on earth record forever...never seeming to notice the ungodly hot temperatures I've read about in other countries (Saudi Arabia, Libya, etc.)?

Here's an article from Accuweather.com https://www.accuweather.com/en/weath...isputed/979835 that never mentions hot weather overseas, as displayed by many of EODguy's photos.

Geez that's nice scenery! And the road seems to fit right in like it's meant to be part of it!

Near Jordan so it's nice. Not like Riyadh

Wow, this sure took a U turn.

All the link says to me is there is no worldwide standard for measuring temperature and all reported temperatures are suspect. And, some of those registering temperatures are not credible as they lack the expertise to do so. The 1913 comparison was over 100 years ago. Things has changed a bit. Personally, I can't see why anyplace wants to claim their country is the hottest place on earth. Not good for tourism.

While other places may be hotter than Death Valley, I think the point is that these hotter temperatures are one of the indications of Global warming. I have changed over to all electric yard tools as gas versions are significant contributors to emissions. An electric mower was delivered about an hour ago, I'm scrapping the gas mower.

^ No kidding. But in all honestly it's the corporations that have to change to have any significant impact... and even then other countries aren't going to do the same. So American manufactured products end up with even higher price disparities than currently. There is no real solution but the corporations (and government) sure do want individuals to feel like it's their in their ability to change things. Because that diverts attention.

Buuuuuuuut at least tangential to the topic. Once you hit 110F... it's just degrees of hot. Honestly after 100F, 110F-120F feels just about the same. HOT! I was doing some roofing on our house at 95F in the morning and 110F in the afternoon. I felt the same amount of sh*tty at both temps (and everything between).

However small what we do, less is less and it is something I can easily control. https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...k-a-lawnmower/. When many of us mow we also use a gas blower, trimmer and edger which is not included in the estimate. I agree, as in this case corporations very seldom have a conscience. all manufactures would have to do is add emission devices to small engines. Because of competition that won't happen unless it is federally mandated.

But, at least tangible to the topic, I suspect there will be new records in more and more places each year and more issues stemming from the associated drought. It appears that historically hot places are getting hotter but it looks like there are many places that are trending for the 'honor' of being the hottest. I hope it isn't in Texas.

I tied a bicycle. My butt hurt for 3 days.

My son has a Tesla. I'm not there yet but have considered the model S plaid.
