NBC News says that 2016 was the second hottest years on record in the US.
As with essentially all climate stories from the government and press, this is fake news. 2016 was a very mild year in the US, with the highest number of 70 degree days since 1938 – and fourth highest since 1895, after 1934, 1921 and 1938.
There were also a large number of 80 degree days, but not in the top ten.
The number of 90 degree days was about average since 1895, following three years well below average.
The number of 100 degree days was not far above the record low.
Claims that 2016 was a hot year in the US are patently false.
As far as the fifteen billion dollar disasters goes, the Obama White House borrows more than three billion dollars a day and charges it against our children’s future.
Essentially everything you hear from the mainstream press is fake news.
