They will grow up but it will be a much different world. Back in the 70s, Rachel Carson posited that it was probably already too late to turn back the effects of air pollution and poisoning of our oceans, and she was right. Instead of fixing problems, oil and gas companies are doubling down on fossil fuel extraction. Kids will grow up to have all kinds of respiratory illnesses and also facing a world that is melting around them.
Most years we're in below 20 degree snowy weather. Today it's 50 degrees here, it's Dec 18th and we've only seen snow in our mountains, which is very rare for us in Utah. Not that I'm complaining about the heat -I love warmer weather, and I absolutely detest the sight of snow in any way, shape or form. But it is weird that we're not even going to have snow on the ground this Christmas (we might get some rain this week).
Temperature translation for non-Americans:
70°F ≈ 21.1°C
50°F = 10°C
20°F ≈ -6.7°C
Here's an easy way for disadvantaged yanks to learn Celsius:
40C = 104F perfect hot tub temp
30C = 86F hot day
20C = 68F nice cool day
10C = 50F chilly day
0C = 32F freezing
Commit these to memory, then it's exactly 9F for every 5C in between. (or about 2:1)
[da fak with the downvotes? Just refuse to learn?]
You give multiple references and say remember these and then do some estimations. Just subtract 30, divide by 2. 80F is approximately 25C. I'm not cooking meth here I'm arguing on the Internet.
Fine but I'm offering a simplified and exact conversion method that mostly only requires memorizing four numbers
I suppose there are different ways to learn and whatever works! Always good to have options.
their way requires only 2 numbers memorised though
So close to downvoting.. finger swiping that way... Why no other downvotes to this jerk?... Swiping... Reading... Swiping.. last sentence.. "oh, I love this motherfucker"
The calendar thing is off though. Month first gives day context.
I get it though - if you are brought up with D-M, you get used to parsing it on the fly.
YYYY-MM-DD is the only reasonable way.
End your line with two spaces.

see?
Lol Memmy interprets that as no spaces.
