If an object is emitting heat, placing an insulator around it necessarily has to increase the temperature of the source. In order to dissipate heat as the edge of the insulator warms, the heat source also has to warm.
Heat flow is driven by differences in temperature. The insulator does not change the direction of the heat flow, but it does increase the temperature.
It is called an insulator.
You are cold – you put a jacket on – you get warmer. Everyone knows this.
You get hypothermia, your core temperature drops to 97 degrees. You put on a space blanket, your core temperature increases to 98.6 degrees.
There is a principle that heat always flows from warmer objects to cooler objects, which is sometimes abused by skeptics in a mindless attempt to debunk a theory which is inconvenient for them to believe. A cooler object most certainly can increase the temperature of a warmer heat source.
Scientists need to understand the difference between temperature and heat.
In 1986, Hansen predicted a large increase in hot days in Washington DC
Last month, a Government scientist predicted that the number of days here on which the maximum tempertaure exceeds 100 degrees might just climb from one day a year, on average, to 12 days a year by the year 2050, and that the number of nights in which the temperature does not fall below 80 degrees might leap from one a year to 19.
The scientist, Dr. James E. Hansen, a climatologist at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, describing a study of the global phenomenon of ”the greenhouse effect,” told a Senate subcommittee that such temperature changes ”may significantly affect the climactic environment for the general population.”
The exact opposite has happened. The have only been three days over 100 degrees this century.
Dems are trying to claim that Reagan took a similar executive illegal action on amnesty. This is complete BS – he signed a bill, passed by Congress and intended to limit illegal immigration.
President Obama took “executive actions” to keep Canadian oil out of the country, and to keep millions of illegal aliens in the country. Pretty much sums up his depraved thought process.
THE PRESIDENT: Believe me — believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. (Laughter.) I promise you. Not just on immigration reform. (Laughter.) But that’s not how — that’s not how our system works.
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Change it!
THE PRESIDENT: That’s not how our democracy functions. That’s not how our Constitution is written.

He swore to uphold the Constitution. Impeach him.
Due to catastrophic climate change, the last three years each set a new record low for tornado activity in the US

We are coming up on the the sixth anniversary of Obama promising to “reign” in executive power
On the campaign trail, Sen. Barack Obama promised that President Barack Obama would redirect power from the presidency to the Congress.

If his lips are moving, the wannabee dictator is lying.
