Q & A From My March 8 2011 Congressional Testimony | Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr.

Q: What is the optimum temperature for man?

A:There is no optimum temperature. First, human society has developed over a wide range of climates. Second, there is no single temperature that we experience; we typically have maximum temperature during the day and minimum temperatures at night. Winters are colder than summers. It is also important to emphasize that a global average surface temperature or its trend over time is irrelevant for the temperatures that society and the environment deal with. It is the regional and local climate that matters.
