...doomsayers note evidence that average temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere dropped 1° Celsius during the 1950s and 1960s. Kukla found that the average snow and ice cover in the Northern Hemisphere increased sharply in 1971 compared with the years between 1967 and '70. It reached a peak in '72 and '73 and then retreated about halfway back to what it had been in the late '60s. Now, says Kukla, satellite studies indicate that the snow and ice cover last fall increased again to about the level of '71. German Oceanographer Martin Rodewald has noticed...
...consequences could be catastrophic. A worldwide average temperature drop of only 1° Celsius could shorten growing seasons in the temperate zones enough to threaten global food supplies. Increased heating requirements would further strain energy resources such as coal, natural...
...just that, no matter how many grams the ingredients weigh. A miss will never be as good as a kilometer; no Texan is likely to wear a 38-liter hat. In some cases, neither form of measurement matters much. The day that hell freezes over, whether it happens in Celsius (0°) or Fahrenheit (32°), it will still rate a TIME cover...
...National Weather Service has developed plans to convert weather forecasting to metric units (wind velocities in k.p.h., temperatures in Celsius, etc.) when the SI bill becomes law. Boston Weathercaster Don Kent already gives temperatures in both systems. One day last week, for example, he reported that the "temperature in Boston is 21° Celsius or 70° Fahrenheit...
