One simply needs to watch your evening weather report, at which time they report the year for the record high temp for that day of the year. Invariably, it is from the 1930s. How can that be?
When they say hottest decade they mean the entire planet, a point which both you and Anthony Watt missed. The US surface area is less than 2% of the planet but you are drawing conclusions by cherry picking 2 years for analysis, you claim to have a scientific background? Besides the 1930's is not even the hottest decade for the US, so your 0 for 2.

"The year 1934 was a very hot year in the United States, ranking sixth behind 2012, 2016, 2015, 2006, and 1998. However, global warming takes into account temperatures over the entire planet, including the oceans. The land area of the U.S. accounts for only 2% of Earth's total surface area. Despite the U.S. sweltering in 1934, that year was not especially hot over the rest of the planet." https://skepticalscience.com/1934-ho...cord-basic.htm
"Climate change skeptics have pointed to 1934 in the U.S. as proof that recent hot years are not unusual. Choosing the year 1934 is an obvious example of "cherry-picking" a single fact that supports a claim, while ignoring the rest of the data. In fact they have to cherry pick both a location (the U.S.) and a year (1934) to find data that is far from the global trend. Globally, the years 2014, 2015 and 2016 are the hottest on record, so far." https://skepticalscience.com/1934-ho...cord-basic.htm
"The "Dust Bowl" years of 1930-36 brought some of the hottest summers on record to the United States, especially across the Plains, Upper Midwest and Great Lake States. For the Upper Mississippi River Valley, the first few weeks of July 1936 provided the hottest temperatures of that period, including many all-time record highs."
Several factors led to the United States heat wave of the 1930's,
"A series of droughts effected the U.S. during the early 1930s. The lack of rain parched the earth and killed vegetation, especially across the Plains states."
"Without the vegetation and soil moisture, the Plains acted as a furnace. The climate of that region took on desert qualities, accentuating its capacity to produce heat."
"A strong ridge of high pressure set up over the west coast and funneled the heat northward across the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes."

Well...the "facts" are...that global temperatures have been increasing almost linearly for the past 165 years...since the Little Ice Age
...so of course....the "hottest years on record"....would be now...
