This is false. Fahrenheit is commonly used in Canada to this day. Awareness of the scale still exists in the UK as well. Any commonwealth country is likely to have awareness because metrication happened so late in those countries.
My friends in Canada talk in degrees Celsius by default. They have a basic understanding of Fahrenheit (more than Americans do of Celsius), but it's not their native temperature scale.
Yes, they use both. Celsius primarily, but still both. Ask them how hot their oven is, or the temperature of the pool.

#303It was refreshing to see Greta delete her "were all doomed in five years tweet from 2018" last week. They also took down the signs in Glacier Park that predicted the glaciers would be gone by now near where I live.
Sweet, I didn't realize that that automatically means doom is never going to happen.

Are you boiling all of climate change research to a single graph from a decade ago presented without context?

I'm not entirely sure what your graphs are presenting, but the IPCC climate models have done a pretty damn good job predicting global temperature rises since the 70s: https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-how-well-have-climate-m...

Which, I should have pointed out in the original comment, relied on, yes, anthropogenic carbon emissions.

Please read some of these reports before you say stuff like this. Of course they factor this in, of course it isn't true that you need fossil fuels to make fertilizer, of course the IPCC does not advocate eliminating fertilizer use. Producing ammonia is one of the primary uses for hydrogen discussed in the reports. There are many companies doing this as we speak (Yara, CF Industries, BP). If it turns out to be too di…
I agree with you. But I caution -- shipping lng is not something that Canada does or will do. Canada's stated goal is to TRY to ship hydrogen. Dangerous as that is. Yes, fertilizer production becomes "one of the last sectors to use fossil fuels". I see no other path. Of course, THAT has to be transported. As does the food produced... That entire chain relies on fossil fuels. A simple bet -- I invest in NatGas and pip…
You don't need to use hydrogen directly. Methanol is made catalytically from hydrogen, can be reformed back into hydrogen fairly easily, and makes a good fuel on its own. The main link in the chain the needs to be replaced is switching hydrogen production from a natural gas feedstock over to a water feedstock.
But yes, the Canadian government's immigration policies sound like madness and directly contradict a stated goal of sustainability.

The US is basically the only country in the world that uses the Fahrenheit scale.
This is false. Fahrenheit is commonly used in Canada to this day. Awareness of the scale still exists in the UK as well. Any commonwealth country is likely to have awareness because metrication happened so late in those countries.
As a Canadian I never use Fahrenheit. The only people I know who do are at least 70.
Edit: For weather.

Honest question: what temperature scale is on your oven? My understanding is that it is likely to be Fahrenheit but I don't actually know.

#310My comment was removed because it doesn’t support the current orthodoxy. (and could make people feel bad about their new climate religion)
I would be great if the censure applied here would put the comments censored on another page with a link to it.
That way people interested could see what is removed and why. Instead of being it silent and hidden.
More and more I feel that HN has become an echo chamber where only one direction is allowed.
TLDR: make censure explicit and visible instead of hidden.
