"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yes, so the way I understand it (remember it from the lectures a decade ago), more heat means more scattering and hence a shorter mean free path for the electrons. Of course, in semiconductors it goes the other way, probably because more electrons have the necessary energy to contribute to the conduction.
