Sir, "Friday, October 27, 2000 Global warming is greater than predicted - study Its worstcase scenario now raises the average global temperature 11degrees F from its 1990 levels." ( all other data in F too)." Is this not in reality 6 degrees Celsius? I can not believe that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, consisting of international scientists, used the oldfashioned non-standard Fahrenheit scale. It must have been converted by an anti-metric reporter. This item gives a false picture of scientific practice and of almost all nations of the world which rejects British measuring units. There was no reason at all to convert the original temperature as Irish people are familiar with the modern unit of temperature. Yours, H.
