Each degree change in C is a 1.8 degree change in F. You're calculating what the temperature of 4 degrees C is in F, not what a change in 4 degrees C equates to in F.
Isn't that the Kelvin/Rankine conversion since the two don't map linearly? (also I always thought Farenheit was based on the coefficient of heat expansion of Mercury, but the truth is far weirder. Who would use this scale?!)
True but remember that all corporate media is heavily influenced by petroleum companies. Usually celsius measurements are converted to F for american audiences but never with climate related stuff.
Yeah when I was younger I thought it was fahrenheit for a long time and didn't get what the big deal was. When I found out it was C I had a day long panic attack
4°c was popularized instead of 39°f because it sounds much less severe to the ameribrain, right? It seems extremely intentional.Shit I'm a dumbass
A 4 degree celsius change would be a 7.2 degree change in fahrenheit
4°c = 39.2°fShit I'm a dumbass

Zero celsius is 32 F. Each degree of Celsius is roughly 1.8 F.
4 C is 39.2 F because 32+(4*1.8)=39.2.
A 4 degree change in Celsius is 7.2 degrees of change in Fahrenheit. Use the tool you just used and look up 8 C. It should be 46.4 F, not 78.8 F.
This is why Kelvin is a thing

:thonk:
God I'm stupid I thought it was in Fahrenheit this whole time. That is cataclysmic

the figures's used all around the world and scientists use metric
