This would be the maximum day temperature where you live.

I believe they use the average temperature of the entire globe, not just one extreme local temperature.
The global warming activists are definitely preying upon the ignorance of the average person to make their point.
Check back this winter and we'll discuss the issue again.

There is no Maximum temperature that proves that global warming is real. The maximum recorded temperature in the US was 134 F, and was measured in the year 1913. The maximum measured temperature in the world was 136 F, and was measured in the year 1922. These maximum temperatures were both around 90 years ago despite the fact that we have supposedly had the "10 hottest years in history" during the last 20 years or so.
These temperatures were recorded during a time when the earth is relatively cool. In earth's 4.5 billion year history, maximum temperatures were certainly quite a bit hotter than those max. temps.

Maximum single event temperatures have nothing to do with global warming and thus, cannot prove it to be real. Global warming is a trend, not single point. There is really no question that average global temperatures are increasing and have been for about 20,000 years.

I live in Kansas City and last week the record high for the week was 125 degrees set back in 1935. I wonder what wild a@@ theory they blamed it on back then? If you could prove a theory it would not be a theory.

It is an average temperature from points all over the world and at many times throughout the year. It only changes a fraction of one degree a year. I read one report that said one degree every 100 years. I wonder how they even measure it very accurately.

Just let it get a little warmer than it was back during the Medieval Warming Period, then I'll start thinking that this so-called "warming" is real.

None of the above. No single weather event in a single location can tell you anything about global warming, which is simply the steady increase in the average temperature of the planet. Just like a cold day in Texas doesn't prove that global warming isn't happening, a hot day in Alaska doesn't prove that it is happening. This is what proves it is happening:

However, very few people dispute that global warming is real. Some people dispute that humans are causing it, but not that it's happening.

I tell you what as soon as it hits 145 F in Antartica I will believe in man made global warming but until then its just a bunch of smoke, which you liberals like blow in everybody's faces :(

The weather jumps round a lot. Global warming is about the long term climate. And even a few degrees of warming would flood coastal areas and extensively damage agriculture.
The resulting costs )moving people, replacing stuff, etc.) would cause a worldwide economic depression. The 1930s would look like good times.
Here's an affordable and practical plan to avoid that disaster:
