In my new scale, °X, 0 is Earths’ record lowest surface temperature, 50 is the global average, and 100 is the record highest, with a linear scale between each point and adjustment every year as needed.

    This was about “scale makes sense for human experience of weather” in comparison to Celsius though. What I’ve wondered is how does it make any more sense than Fahrenheit.

      Yeah and it’s been explained and you avoid it by saying it doesn’t work for you.

      So the conversation is over.

        I didn’t avoid it, I was just hoping that there’d be an explanation that would make sense. “Well you know, this season is vaguely around this degree in general in some places and this around this, or maybe not, very natural and intuitive” wasn’t very convincing lol. No offense.
