So, here’s an open and honest question for my friends or followers who care to consider:

Has anyone considered, or seen or heard of, any discussion of or inclusion of thermal mass distribution on climate change? Hear me out, now.

All of the literature, media, social debate and such I’ve encountered around climate change focuses on the atmosphere and the gases in it (methane, hydrocarbons, etc), and the foretold terrible effects on global warming, and thus, climate change.

But I can’t recall mention of what effect the migration of European-based humanity to North America, which in the span of a few short hundred years has seen an explosion of human habitation across the continent, has had or may have had on climate change or how we include it. Every human person radiates heat. Every building we have or build becomes a thermal mass not formerly there, thereby changing the local thermodynamics just that much. And this, naturally I should think, is a cumulative effect.

Something worth exploring, or am I barking at the moon again? #climatechange
