You won't miss polar bears and coral reefs? Anyway, the worst case scenario for 2100 is a two-meter sea level rise, though it seems like every climate change estimate so far has been much too conservative.

Bazza Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Re: Musings on Random Musings We should be using the base 12 counting system! I've been making this argument for years. Then today, I stumbled across this by accident. I didn't know that there are groups out there actually pushing this, like www.dozenal.org. I'm so signing up for their newsletter. I feel so validated read a book this year IIRC the new Temple of Jerusalem is in both decimal and dozenal. I do remember it did my head in trying to keep measurements in both bases straight. And the ancients had a base 60 number system IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
