1 degree Celsius is about 33.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

But I sure don't see the affects of Global Warming here in S.E. Louisiana.

No, a *change* of 1 degree C is 9/5 = 1.8 degree F.

1 degree Celsius is about 33.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

The boiling point of water is 100° Celsius, the freezing point of water is 0° Celsius, therefore the range between freezing and boiling is 100° on the Celsius scale.

The boiling point of water is 212° Fahrenheit, the freezing point of water is 32° Fahrenheit, therefore the range between freezing and boiling is 180° on the Fahrenheit scale.

Since the range of temperature between freezing and boiling for water (measured at sea level) represents the same change in thermal energy added to the water we can say that 180° Fahrenheit is equal to 100° Celsius. Dividing both sides of the equation by 100 yields 1°Celsius = 1.8° Fahrenheit.

PS -40° is the only point where the temperature is the same on both Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.
