How Cold is It?

I don't have an on-line link to the cartoon so this is a bit out of context. Basically a Harper like figure was putting ice in his drink to combat global warming. My reply was published in the Era, with the only change being to introduce an error by converting degrees to C - which turned 54 F into 54 Celsius?!?

Looking at your editorial cartoon I was thinking this is misleading. With the climate change conference in Cancun being held in the coldest temperatures recorded there in over 100 years the scene in the pool must be from historical stock cartoons not a contemporary observation. More likely they were sipping lattes to warm up. I guess as with the record cold in Copenhagen last conference the weather just has not read what the climate models are predicting and laws need to be passed to make them obey doom and gloom predictions, even if 54 degrees on a tropical beach seems gloomy enough to my way of thinking.
