My strange comment about the temperature in Hell, was because I was thinking what would happen in England if we had daily temperatures of 115°F.There would be tens of thousands of deaths, starting with the elderly and sick.This actually happened in France a few years ago when there were daily temperatures slightly above 100°F.I remember hitchhiking in France many years ago and it was so hot that I went into a nearby river fully clothed just to cool off.I don't know how you cope with such temperatures as 115°F and maybe higher on a daily basis. We might manage to survive one such day, but any more would drastically reduce the population here. In a way I suppose that wouldn't be such a bad thing, but it is a rather unpleasant way of going about it.I do hope that global warming doesn't get so bad, that the maximum temperature we have had of 101°F goes up to 115°F.It was actually a fellow astronomer who discovered the ozone hole. I don't think he got the recognition he deserved.There are still some who believe global warming is a myth.You just have to look at the planet Venus, where the enormous heat and sulphuric acid rain, should make us think carefully about what we're doing to this planet. Venus really is hell, even though it looks beautiful.</blockquote>
