Guess I am a permafrost romantic. I’ll miss it. Celsius, Fahrenheit, it’s all the same to me. The UN Environment Program Emissions Gap report of 2021 warns ocean temperatures globally will have risen to a point where at the end of this century they will be more than five degrees higher Fahrenheit than now. With Celsius it’s lower.
Since I am nearing eighty like many Americans I won’t care about that. So good-bye glaciers, (yes I have been to Alaska) hello to the great thaw, receding coastlines, increased violent storm reports. It’s just another climate change so why worry? So what if they won’t be growing grapes in France like they used to? What’s to be scared about? By then Oregon and Alaska will have the better climate for it.
