** Caution: EXTERNAL Sender ** I decided to affirm Jim Walsh's use of Celsius without conversions.

Results of a study published last year indicate that Minnesota's future climate is likely to be significantly warmer than it was near the end of the 20th century. Over northern and central Minnesota, winters and summers are expected to be up to 6 and 4 degrees Celsius warmer, respectively, near the end of the 21st century. John Date: Sun, 07 Jan 2024 11:34:46 -0600 To: jim.wa...@startribune.com From: John Dunlop <jrdun...@igc.org> Subject: Yea Metric! Jim, THANK YOU for citing projections for warmer winters in CELSIUS and without the very distracting equivalents to the old Fahrenheit temperature scale! (Sunday, July 07) International efforts to fight the climate crisis have exposed Americans to Celsius by using the Celsius scale to gauge our slide deeper into a climate calamity with the international goal to keep global warming to less than 1.5 deg C. 95% of the world's population use Celsius to measure temperatures. With your further exposure, perhaps American will also learn how much more relevant the Celsius scale is to our perception of temperature -- 0 deg C for freezing, 100 deb C for water boiling point. Thanks again for helping your readers to move to the more rational metric measurement system.
