    <blockquote><font size="-1">In a politically divisive year, there's
        been one tie that has bound most of the U.S. together. We all
        live in the United States of Warming (USW! USW! USW!).</font><br>
      <font size="-1">In all likelihood, the U.S. is going to have its
        second-hottest year on record, trailing only 2012. Every state
        is slated to have a top 10 warmest year and even at the city
        level, unrelenting warmth has been the main story in
        2016....Climate Central conducted an analysis of more than 1,730
        weather stations across the Lower 48 that include daily
        temperature data up until Dec. 15....</font><br>
      <font size="-1">A paltry 2 percent are having a colder-than-normal
        year. That leaves 98 percent running above normal. Not only
        that, 10 percent of those weather stations are having their
        hottest year on record....</font><br>
      <font size="-1">Another area where climate change caused a shift
        is the number of record daily highs being set, and this year has
        been no exception. In November, record daily highs outpaced
        daily lows at a blistering 44-to-1 pace. For the year, that
        ratio is 6-to-1, with more record highs than lows set in every
        season. In a climate with no manmade warming, the ratio of
        record highs to record lows would be roughly 1-to-1.</font><br>
