One datapoint, the highest temperature ever recorded in a state, is a pretty small dataset, highly dependent on local conditions being just right to trap heat at one particular location.
So I don't think that 35 datapoints is enough to cast doubt on the amount of data that seems to indicate AGW is actually taking place.
