To this the answer is not yet clear, though Mitchell's bones say yes.

Global Trend Take a look at the global trend. The world as a whole grew warmer by about 1 degree be-WEATHER tween 1885 and 1940. This does not mean ANALYSIS that each succeeding year was a mite warmer than the last. Sometimes a fairly warm winter might be followed by a much chillier one. But the average annual temperature crept up by about a degree during the 55-year period.

The winter average advanced a bit more by about 1 'i degrees. But since 1940 It appears the global trend has reversed. The temperature has dropped about a third of a degree, bringing it back roughly to the level of the 1920s. In the United States, a warming tendency raised the temperature by 1 to 2 degrees since the turn of the century. However, the past four or five winters have been pretty severe in some areas, especially the northeast.

"Whether this means that the United States has broken away from the warming phase and has entered a cooling one is not yet proved," Mitchell says. "I personally feel that it has." It may seem that a change of a degree or two in the averages is not much. But it could make the difference between getting one's feet wet sloshing through rain, or suffering a crick in the back or a heart attack shoveling snow. Nuclear Tests Are nuclear tests to blame for this winter's miseries? Mitchell is pretty certain they are not, barring some subtle effect science has not fathomed. Offhand you might think atomic explosions would make things warmer.

They give off much heat; to be specific, the 50-megaton weapon set off by Soviet Russia in 1961 generated enough heat to melt an ice cube measuring a half mile on a side. But guess how many such blasts would be needed to raise the temperature of the world's atmosphere one degree. Answer: 15,000. Actually, even 15,000 superbombs could not do it because much of their heat would go off into space. And anyway, the temperature would fall back quickly to where it was.

Could the bombs lower the temperature by throwing up clouds of dust which cut off some of the sun's rays? They do put dust into the air, but not nearly so much as volcanic eruptions can. There have been many volcanic blasts in recent years Mitchell notes that there was a "whopper" in Kamchatka in 1956. Volcanic dust could conceivably make the world a bit cooler, Mitchell believes. Polluting Atmosphere Some factors have been working in the other direction, however. Since the 19th century, the human race has been polluting the atmosphere increasingly.

For example, auto exhaust fumes and burning fuel oil have put huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the air. This acts like glass in a greenhouse, tending to keep the earth warmer. So if the climate is cooling, other reasons must be sought. Mitchell toys with the idea that the answer may lie in the oceans. There are vast reservoirs of warmth, and they absorb heat and give it off in seemingly haphazard ways.

Haphazard means that science hasn't yet figured out this complicated phenomenon. Clues to Weather Then there is the question of sunspots. These have been described as a measles rash on the Sun's face. They are symptoms indicating a fever, and may hold clues to the weather. Scientists hope to know more about this after "the Year of the Quiet Sun." During this period, beginning in January, 1964, the Sun's fever is expected to be at a low ebb, and scientists will study the subject with everything from balloons to rockets.
