BEST Explanation Ever on Why 1 Degree of Change Feels So Freaking Hot

I know some people don't believe the New York Times - so I live with that. But for those that believe science this is BEST Explanation Ever on Why 1 Degree of Change Feels So Freaking Hot.

The bell has flattened out AND moved so there are a LOT more "Extremely Hot" days.
This is a fascinating set of data I hadn't quite thought of. It also fits in with today's breaking news (link) that the Trump Administration won't sign off on a federal report from 13 agencies that climate change is worse and more rapid than feared. (CBS News Link)
