Improvement to our abilities to handle raw data... I love that expression. :D Just use original data.

Heatwaves were much more severe in the 1930s with the "Dust Bowl" killing ten thousand. Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath is the story of this mega drought.

Great.  Now do that for every weather polling station on Earth during the 1930s, average them all up, account for time of day, islanding, etc...and then compare it all to today.

Climate Change doesn't give a fuck about one or two anomalies like the high point in the 1930's... That isn't what Climate Change is about.

It's about overall and long-term trends... Yes you will still get periods where temperatures will spike and where temperatures will drop below the averages, it accounts for all of that.

I wish people would understand that very simple concept that often alludes them.
