Farenheit Celsius

Bake for One Hour at 350° F, or C

It shouldn't make any difference

“ BRUSSELS -- As the world gets hotter, millions of people will suffer from hunger, thirst, floods and disease unless drastic action is taken, the bleakest report yet on global warming said yesterday. "Don't be poor in a hot country, don't live in hurricane alley, watch out about being on the coasts or the Arctic, and it's a bad idea to be on high mountains with glaciers melting," Stephen Schneider, a Stanford University scientist and study co-author, said. All regions of the world will change, with the risk that nearly a third of the Earth's species will vanish if global temperatures rise just 2 C above the average temperature in the 1980s and '90s. FIERCE DEBATE ” I grabbed the first example I found,  but you can find similar nincompoopery anywhere the name ''Gore,'' or ''UN'' is associated with the word "temperature." Here's today's science. To convert Fahrenheit temperatures into Celsius: Begin by subtracting 32 from the Fahrenheit number. Divide the answer by 9. Then multiply that answer by 5. Ergo, the last cited paragraph is actually saying All regions of the world will change, with the risk that nearly a third of the Earth's species will vanish if global temperatures rise just 67.6° F above the average temperature in the 1980s and '90s. At my advanced age it's quite normal for me to forget why I opened the refrigerator, so correct me if I'm wrong here - I mean this seems so patently obvious that I smell a trap - but it seems to me that last people to heed about things scientific are those this careless with 2nd grade nomenclature.  And that's just for starters. And the trap was .... The formula you used is to calculate the actual temperature on the Celsius scale given a corresponding temperature on the Fahrenheit scale. But if you are just talking about a 2 degree increase Celsius, that would be equivalent to a 3.6 degree increase Fahrenheit. So the sentence would read: "All regions of the world will change, with the risk that nearly a third of the Earth's species will vanish if global temperatures rise just 3.6° F above the average temperature in the 1980s and '90s."
