Global boiling, global warming, what’s the difference? A Limerick.

The era of global warming has ended and “the era of global boiling has arrived”, the UN secretary general, António Guterres said after scientists confirmed July was on track to be the world’s hottest month on record since global satellite records began in 1979.

The surface ocean temperature around the Florida Keys soared to 101.19 degrees this week, in what could be a global record as ocean heat around the state reaches unprecedented extremes.

This calls for a Limerick

It’s hot around Florida Keys

the temp is expressed in degrees.

Is it F, is it C?

Makes a difference to me.

It depends whom you want to appease.

This being the U.N.; renaming climate science “Global Boiling” can only mean they do not know the difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
