    As stupid as this sounds I think we (and really the media, but we know which side they’re on) should be doing this in F for US audiences. Saying “hey, it’s now 5°F hotter than it was in the 1970s” is more immediately meaningful — and the bigger number looks scarier too.

    I’m curious about the scientific consensus continually undershooting. At a certain point, if you’re always updating in one direction, shouldn’t you overcorrect a bit?

    The heat index in my city right now as a type this comment is 42C/107F. And summer is just starting. This is gonna suck.

    Governments and companies are probably going to spend a lot of money on weather manipulation.
