A recent study finds approximately 96 percent of US temperature Stations used to measure climate change fail to meet what the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) considers to be 'acceptable' and uncorrupted placement by its own published standards.
This nation-wide study follows up widespread corruption and heat biases found at NOAA stations in 2009, and the heat-bias distortion is even worse now.
The study, published by The Heartland Institute, was compiled via satellite and in-person survey visits to NOAA weather stations that contribute to the 'official' land temperature data in the United States. The research shows that 96% of these stations are corrupted by localized effects of urbanization--producing heat-trapping, or heat-accentuating objects. Placing temperature stations in such locations violates NOAA's own published standards and strongly undermines the legitimacy and the magnitude of the official consensus on long-term climate warming trends in the United states. 1
So it might be possible that the highest temperature recorded on earth
WAS at Al' Aziziyah, Libya at 136 degrees F in 1922, and not in Death Valley NP.

So the record high temperature could still be at Al' Aziziyah, Libya at 136F in 1922!
