Fifty Degrees
In July 2041 a heat dome sat over Paris for two weeks, and the thermometers on the ring road read fifty.
If the Revolution won
The cooling communes kept the top floors alive, and the city remembered who had carried the water.
Otherwise
The cooling centres held, and the Chancellery came out of the summer stronger.
