The record was broken in 20 of the 50 countries in Europe in the last 10 years alone. Only 12 still have records standing from more than 30 years ago.
About half of records in Africa were broken in the last 20 years.
The majority of records in Asia and South America were broken in the last 20 years.
Anyway, this article is about temperatures in January, which means that all-time high temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere are irrelevant. Would it be meaningless if California hit 130°F in January just because it was once slightly hotter in July?
It's for not knowing what the word "globally" means. That is a pretty big hole in your own data.
Look at the equivalent data where it exists for South America, Europe, Africa or Asia. The majority have records set in the last 30 years.
Of course, none of the Northern hemisphere countries set their all-time record temperature in January so all-time records in the US are pretty irrelevant to the article.
So it would seem that the drop was more pronounced among gay people.
We actually have had something not completely dissimilar to this since the 1980s. Anyone who lives in state housing for at least a minimum period of time is able to buy that home at a subsidized price. As local authorities are banned from using this money to build more state housing, this leads to long term shortages in state housing which is one of the causes of the problems we are facing now.

Nobody is expecting to get a cheap home in Kensington or the equivalent super-expensive part of whatever city you are from. But it is not just the "cool", "nice" places that are becoming unaffordable. And the problem is that people are not paying to live in these homes. People are paying to use them as big, shiny piggy banks in the sky that happen to offer a better rate of return than other investments. Poor people who actually live in London and use London businesses generally contribute more to London's culture than rich people who don't.
Penalizing people for having extra rooms while it is impossible for them to downsize because there is insufficient supply of smaller properties is not a long term solution.

Of course, we do study grammar in our own language. We do it at school.
There they list the actual top 5 for some professions. Having read that, I am inclined to agree with you here.
The top 6 for car salesmen in that graph has literally only one name (Clay) that is in the actual top 5 and even that was only 5th. The top 4 names (Emmett, Luther, Emanuel, Morton) all got replaced with stereotypical white working class guy names.
The top 6 for surgeon in the graph has no female names yet the actual most disproportionately common name for surgeons is 'Vivienne'.
