As if you had any doubt that 2012 was hotter than hell..
June’s second half helped the continental United States break its record for the hottest first six months in a calendar year.. And with that piece of information contemplate this: The last 12 months have been the warmest since 1895.. 
Get that? 1895.
Also in the news in 18895, a sandstorm crippled the panhandle of Texas, Grover Cleveland was president, and an earthquake occurred in the New Madrid seismic zone.
History repeats itself.. so watch the Midwest……. ??
