Dimensional analysis for obtaining a quantity in units of Celsius from units of Fahrenheit; one could have started with the equivalence between 100 °C and 212 °F, though this would yield the same formula at the end. Hence, to convert the numerical quantity value of a temperature "T"[F] in degrees Fahrenheit to a numerical quantity value "T"[C] in degrees Celsius, this formula may be used: To convert "T"[C] in degrees Celsius to "T"[F] in degrees Fahrenheit, this formula may be used: Dimensional analysis is most often used in physics and chemistry – and in the mathematics thereof – but finds some applications
Instrumental temperature record stated that "globally-averaged temperatures in 2016 were 1.78 degrees Fahrenheit (0.99 degrees Celsius) warmer than the mid-20th century mean" and that the impact of El Niño warming was estimated to have "increased the annual global temperature anomaly for 2016 by 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit (0.12 degrees Celsius)." Comments from climate scientists reported in "The Washington Post" showed strong agreement in attributing the warming primarily to anthropogenic climate change, with some contribution from El Niño warming, though there were differing views on the significance of individual records.
