yes, before global warming, there was the next ice age… its always something, innit? i guess we always have to have something to be nervous about…

So you’d have to recast the walls if the concrete settled or cracked due to a frost heave?

Not terribly convenient if we’re talking about an ice age…

The first thing I can think of with a perfectly-insulated house is how all of today’s appliances and energy consumers and so on will make it really hot, really fast. With the four desktop computers in my badly-ventilated office I usually can’t stand the heat with the door closed… imagine that in an environment with no external heat transfer whatsoever!

Great find!

I never hear about purposely placing dust in the upper atmosphere to counteract Global Warming.

Would it require the payload of a dozen Saturn 5s…. or thousands?

(Um… the museum pieces probably couldn’t be made fight worthy. Russian rockets required… if you could convince the Russians that the climate is too warm. Good luck with that!)
