I think you are missing the point. Yes, if you have an ever increasing number of data points over time records will fall. However, the pace these records are being set at is much faster pace than we did 50 years ago. I read that roughly 25 states had their warmest spring ever. These records are being set because the earth is getting warmer and not just because we have more data points. Maybe you realize that but it doesn't seem that way.
