The US State with the lowest all-time high temperature is...Hawaii

Not to mention the temperature of water under pressure down below ~100' below surface is always 39.2F. That's a big ass swamp cooler surrounding dem rocks.

Derp.
This plus water. Water heats and cools slower than air. That is why FL doesn't top the list despite being the southernmost point of the US and therefore closest to the equator.
Greeney is not impressed, you must try harder.
Edit: grind beat me to it
South Point on the Big Island of Hawaii is the southernmost point in the U.S.
Not really relevant, but it's pretty windy there.

ALL OF YOU ARE FUCKING DUMBASSES!
Look at the fucking numbers. The table is treating the values as text and sorting them alphabetically. Numeric characters get sorted above dashes.
Hawaii's lowest all time temperature was 15ºF. Positive 15ºF. 15ºF above zero. Every other state has had a negative high.

How about fun with numbers instead. 9 of the 10 hottest days on record in the history of recorded US weather take place in two years, 1936 and 1994. 5 of the hottest 10 on record were recorded over 3 days in 1994. 19 of the hottest recorded days in history take place over 9 days (spread between 83 years)
And finally (turn away, climate change tards) only 21.5% of those record highs occur in the last 30 years. Only 31% take place in the last 60 years.

Also, the highest temperature ever directly recorded was apparently right here in California. How bout that.
On a related note, 99.9% of all climate scientists earn their living applying for government grants to study the effects of climate change.
I'm not an environmentalist, I don't know shit about climate change, so I don't debate the subject - but who else would fund studies relating to it? Maybe suncream companies, but there's still not much incentive there.
Agreed, and I'm not saying there is no effect on the climate from our industrialization. All I'm saying is the climate has literally ALWAYS been changing from the day the planet was formed, and that the climate has gone through cycles of accelerated and decelerated warming and cooling completely independent of any input from man. So trying to make the inference that "this time is different" is a faulty assumption, unless we think that the climate would have stopped changing on it's own, and any one that thinks that is fucking retard.
So then the question is HOW MUCH are we impacting it negatively. And that's where the incentive comes in to put out pseudo-science in an effort to get the biggest government grants. If you don't think these climate scientists have a financial incentive to be alarmist you're being naive. In fact, that's why they've been busted manipulating data and trying to spin things to get the most funding.
