Heating degree days Here’s a chart that gives a good indication of the ‘warmth’ of the weather. We have been getting warmer since we pulled out of the very cold 1800’s. The recent warm cycle gave us a break in the heating bills, and now we are going back to the 1800’s. Or, you could look at the chart anyway you want to.

@hasmis Unless we do something I think the only hope for another ice age is nuclear winter.

@modrobert That’s fine. I never expected more than 6 people in the world going with physics. We can have an ‘ice cycle’ that we have had before, but you don’t have to think it is possible.

@hasmis There is a possibility our atmosphere on Earth will turn the same as on Venus due to excessive amounts of CO2 and the greenhouse effect. The temp on Venus reaches 464 °C / 867 °F.

@modrobert Yes, I would love to measure the mechanism of the process. There are so many measurements we could do, but we stand here, awaiting the outcome.
