The TV network news recently announced that this is the hottest it has been in over 100 year.  The only time that it was hotter was in 1936.

But, news people don’t like to get confused by the facts so let’s do the math.  A hundred years would put us back to 1912.  So, if 1936 was the hottest year, then our present temperatures would be the hottest since 1936 and not 1912.

But, these temperatures are nothing compared to the record temps of the 1890s when temps soared to way over 100. I guess they had global warming back in the 1800s.
