I’m not sure what Hillary is worried about. The kind of prison she’ll be sent to typically have plenty of air conditioning. Let’s flip to that NOAA press release
The 2015 annual average U.S. temperature was 54.4°F, 2.4°F above the 20th century average, the second warmest year on record. Only 2012 was warmer for the U.S. with an average temperature of 55.3°F.
Interesting. Just a few years ago, the NOAA data showed 1998 as 55.08. Now it shows 54.23, almost a full degree less. Even the baseline is now changed. Back in 2013 it was 52.06. Now it is 52.02. How does the baseline change? How do the temperatures change?
