While Hillary Clinton got about 2.9 million more votes general, a margin of 2.1 percent of the total cast, Donald Trump conquered supremacy in the Electoral College, winning 30 U.S. states with 306 pledged electors out of 538, and reversed the permanent swing states of Florida, Ohio, and Iowa, as well as the “blue wall” of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, which had been Democratic citadels in presidential elections since the 1990s.

How is climate will change in the U.S. (2030 – 2100)?

Since 1901, the average temperature across the contiguous U.S. states has grown at an average rate of 0.16°F (0.09°С) per decade. Average temperatures have grown more rapidly since the late 1970s (0.31 to 0.54°F or 0.17°С to 0.3°С per decade since 1979). Eight of the top ten hottest years on record for the contiguous U.S. states have happened since 1998, and 2012 and 2016 were the 2 warmest years on record. Over the following few decades (2021–2050), yearly average temperatures are supposed to grow by around 2.5°F (1.39°С) for the U.S., related to the recent past (average from 1976 – 2005), under all probable future climate scenarios.
