Don't Worry About Global Warming, Say 16 Scientists in the WSJ
An anonymous reader writes "According to an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, there's 'no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to 'decarbonize' the world's economy'. From the article: 'The lack of warming for more than a decade—indeed, the smaller-than-predicted warming over the 22 years since the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began issuing projections—suggests that computer models have greatly exaggerated how much warming additional CO2 can cause. Faced with this embarrassment, those promoting alarm have shifted their drumbeat from warming to weather extremes, to enable anything unusual that happens in our chaotic climate to be ascribed to CO2. The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 is a colorless and odorless gas, exhaled at high concentrations by each of us, and a key component of the biosphere's life cycle.'"

Fahrenheit makes excellent sense for what most people use air temperature to refer to: human comfort. When it's 100F or above, it's so hot that sweat isn't enough. When it's 0F or below, it would be a good idea to limit time outside, and at 10F or below, keep your insulated water lines flowing because insulation is insufficient. The Celcius equivs are harder to remember: 37.777...., -17.77..., -12.22...
