Air is a \\\'\\\'terrible\\\'\\\' conductor of heat; that\\\'s why people don\\\'t die of hypothermia in sixty-five degree weather (or for that matter, why some people can consider 65 degrees Fahrenheit to be \\\"warm weather\\\"). By contrast, water is a much better conductor of heat, which is why a hot piece of metal will stay hot for quite some time in open air, but cool almost instantly in a bucket of water.]]

\\\'\\\'Air\\\'\\\' may be, in and of itself, a terrible conductor, but Kraden\\\'s not talking about a calm day. With the Jupiter Lighthouse activated, the area is now subject to gale force winds. In effect, he\\\'s saying that there is a severe [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windchill_effect Windchill Effect]]. It\\\'s an aversion (albeit the more common aversion) of ConvectionSchmonvection.

EDIT: In fact, with the Water Lighthouse active, it would enable a humidity component which is generally \\\'\\\'positive\\\'\\\' with regard to apparent temperature (ergo, how recorded heat indices are \\\'\\\'warmer\\\'\\\' than the local air temperature).

[=EDIT2=]: What the original poster seems to be describing is heat transfer by \\\'\\\'conduction\\\'\\\'. This, however, requires actual physical contact with an object or medium of different temperature. Given that the lighting of the Mercury Lighthouse was not accompanied by a global precipitation event (i.e. a worldwide rainstorm), this means that there is no opportunity for a global temperature shift based on a change in medium balance. Ergo, discussions of cooling based on conduction are immaterial to the changes in climate experienced in this game.
