Global warming or?

[ThankYouForNotSmoking]

I'd like to see how you came up with that but we are actually both wrong.

Since 0C starts at 32F the correct delineation would be 100C=180F (180 +32 = 212) the constant boiling point of water at sea level. So 1C would equal 1.8F and .7C would therefore equal 1.26F

Some of you folks have no math skills at all :0

100C = 212F so 1C =2.12F and that means .7C is equal to 1.48F Average global temperature has gone up about 1.5 degrees if your information is correct.

Actually, that is also incorrect. 1 C is the same as 1.26 degrees F.

No, I don't think I'm wrong.

The change in energy from 0C to .7C is equivalent to the change in energy between 32F and 33.26 F. The change in energy from -40C to -39.3C is the same as the change in energy between -40F to -38.74F. Therefore, a change in .7C is a change of 1.26F.

Regardless, the point is that it's horribly, horribly wrong to make arguments about anything when you don't have a clue as to what you're arguing. So, if you are making statements like "Scientists claim that the Earth's temp has changed .7C in the past 125yrs, that means the temp has changed 33F...", you shouldn't be arguing either for or against global warming. You should accept the expert consensus, which overwhelmingly states that man's extra "contributions" to the atmosphere are causing significant, unprecedented change. And this change, unchecked, could result in a global crisis. (to clarify, AVB never made that argument)

You agreed with me in your second post. You first post said 1 degree C was equal to 1.26 F

Oh, I mispoke. Sorry But, uh, yeh.

I barely passed High School Math and pulled a C in Chemistry. Now I know why :laugh:

if .7c = 1.48f then how does 0c = 32f?

If you read the rest of the posts you'd see that .7C equals 1.26F. The reason that 0C =32 F is because they use a different starting point. Centigrade starts at the freezing point of water for their zero point and Fahrenheit uses 32 to mark the freezing point of water. It's the same question as asking how 100C = 212F.

if .7c = 1.48f then how does 0c = 32f?

you're just messing with me right?

I'd ask you the same question.

Then the answer is because C x 1.8 + 32 = F
100 x 1.8 = 180, 180 + 32 = 212
.7 x 1.8 = 1.26, 1.26 + 32 = 33.26

You are correct, .7C + 33.26 F

However, a .7C change is a 1.26F change. You don't need to convert a change to a tempature on a scale, all that is being shown is the same change in two different scales.

Does this make more sense?

Edit: Piss poor spelling and shift key violations duly noted in the light of day.

I get it now, what you are saying is the onyl difference between 100 c and 100.7 c is 1.26 f
100c = 212f
100.7c = 213.26

I see what you guys are saying now. A little confusion there. And just so everyone knows I did my part to save the world from extinction from uv rays by not smoking today. And if the weather is bad again tomorrow, I'll do my part again.
