Paint the roof shiny white.

Wrap the entire roof with industrial foil. Kill two birds with one stone. Will also stop the government from reading your mind. :D Actually, would foil screw up thermal imaging cameras? Could possibly stop the spy drones, if anything. :p

It's easier to warm up than it is to cool off.

Forecast for today is 10F higher than yesterday. It's going to push 120F.

:(


I'm the exact opposite. It's no fun to be cold all the time, cold feet, hands, having to bundle up to go outside, trudge through snow, drive on ice/snow, etc. Cold sucks.

With heat, I can wear shorts, t shirts, drink water, go swimming, use AC, etc. Give me heat any day over anything below 40.

The planet is cyclical so it's not easy to determine how much effect the extra carbon dioxide is having although the fact that there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is undisputed. Maybe we will forestall the next ice age LOL..

There is a lot of truth to that though, I recall reading an article that we were actually due for another ice age based on previous cycles.

I wonder how much electricity you can generate for an auxiliary AC unit by covering the entire roof in solar panels...
