Isn't temperature an energy scaled by the Boltzmann constant? That means it's proportional to the energy of something. Why not just use that energy directly instead of converting it to another unit? That's what I means about using Joules for temperature - divide kelvins by Boltzmann's constant
Why on earth would you make absolute zero anything other than 0? That's the major problem of Fahrenheit and the reason Celsius is not the SI unit. Instead, you could put a human-level temperature at a round number like 1000 new degrees so everyone always has the leading 1 in there for everyday values.

That's why temperature is a unit of its own, and it not just energy. > Why on earth would you make absolute zero anything other than 0? I want a "human" oriented scale, that is also tied into SI.
