We have been fucking it for centuries. And by the looks of things, that’s not stopping any time soon. I’d rather we have something we can do besides hoping that certain people decide now’s the time to seriously address climate change.


But when it comes to weather, the boiling point of water is not a meaningful point of reference.
Well, the freezing point of water is very relevant for weather. If I see that the forecast is -1 degC when it was positive before, I know I will have to watch out for ice on roads.
And the boiling point as the other reference point makes complete sense.


Some countries already use it officially too :)


About the only useful thing I see is that 100 Fahrenheit is about body temperature. Yeah, that’s about the only nice thing I can say about Fahrenheit. All temperature scales are arbitrary, but since our environment is full of water, one tied to the phase changes of water around the atmospheric pressure the vast majority of people experience just makes more sense.


No worries, and glad you learnt something!


I don’t know whether this is a joke or not (Poe’s law and all), so I will assume this is a genuine question:
Because they were about to say Czechoslovakia, I’d assume. The country that hasn’t existed anymore for a long time.
edit: grammar fix


Yeah, Roscosmos was a pretty normal space agency, ESA even had collaborations with them (ExoMars comes to mind). It’s Putin’s political decisions that have all but ended Roscosmos. I can’t see them recovering from this, at least not in the near future.
