In my new scale, °X, 0 is Earths’ record lowest surface temperature, 50 is the global average, and 100 is the record highest, with a linear scale between each point and adjustment every year as needed.

    I actually think a great compromise between c and f would be c x 2 so 200c is boiling point, all the benefits of c and f

          This is the point. Whether ice is likely to form is a very important aspect of weather.

          Is it going snow instead of rain. Are the roads going to be treacherous. Will my water supply stop flowing.
