    This isn’t going to convince anyone to do anything. Does anyone grasp how minor that number sounds? Especially to an American lol

    The whole movement needs to learn some marketing skills…

      Yeah, it should at least be reported in Fahrenheit. Then you can say 98.6°F is normal human temperature whereas 2.7° higher, 101.3, is an unpleasant fever. Then imagine if that fever never goes away. At 5.4° higher (the 3°C we will almost certainly hit), your brain boils.

        The problem with Fahrenheit is that literally nobody outside the US knows what it means lol

      From the looks of things on the internet, they still have many more stuff they are debating. Climate change might not be at the top of their list.
