I am not forgetting. We are going around in circles. And speaking of forgetting, don't you remember reading my very first response in this thread? ''In that very first comment to this theory, I already explained the LIMITS of firebenders when it came to cooling things down. ''You might want to read it again. You see, they can't freeze anything because they can't cool anything down that much. They can only remove so much heat, and they can only do that in a limited area. That is nowhere near enough to freeze anything. For this to apply to your theory it would not only have to be over an area that was miles squared in size, but the firebender would have to take away enough of that heat to be able to freeze things. That technique simply isn't that powerful. Plus, no bender has that kind of range with any technique, let alone one with such restrictive limits.

'''It simply wouldn't work due to the limits. Firebenders can't cool anything down that much, so they can't create the change in temperature required without compensating on the other end by adding more heat.'''

That is exactly why the extreme amount of added heat would be needed in the first place: To create the same ratio in difference of temperature required for your theory to work. But I also just explained the problems with adding heat, and why that wouldn't work even if it was possible for firebenders to do it on the scale required (which that very scale is more than any bender can do). '''And you even just said that adding heat wasn't the point of your theory, but controlling temperature change was. You just claimed in your most recent post that it wasn't about adding heat at all.'''

So adding heat is out. Taking it away is out. How does any bender create that kind of temperature change in the air if they can't do it by adding or removing heat? They can't. The change can't happen if they can't change the levels of heat in the air. And we already ruled out adding it or taking it away. There is no other way to effect the temperature, and that is what your entire theory is based off of.
