It doesn’t get much dumber than this. Temperatures in DC on June 22 and 23, 1998 were both all time records in DC at 101 and 98. Hansen and Wirth had no way of knowing that a few weeks later it would be even hotter, arranged the hearings to coincide with the record heat, and sabotaged the air conditioner in the hearing room.
