when it gets cold people use more power to heat up.
when it gets hot people use more power to cool down.
so between these two it is a wash.
global warming is a natural phenomenon, 99% unrelated to anything mankind does.
since 1895 there have ben many cycles of mania balanced equally between cooling frenzy and the
advent of a new ice age to warming and the concomitant dire results of this natural course of events
so no matter what man does in his puny little existence here on earth, the earth will continue to do its own thing regardless.
pollution is the real issue along with the threat to eco systems and the massacre of wild life especially in the oceans where man seems to think he can plunder endlessly.
species once common in our little lifetimes are being wiped out due to endless greed and population growth, now those are problems we can do something about but it is not nearly as popular as the
ethereal global warming lunacy spawned by our pal AL.
