[ RadSafe ] Auer on Global Warming

[Richard L. Hess]

Hans,

Isn't it just kelvin (K) and not "degrees Kelvin" now?

Also, I learned a few decades ago that units derived from someone's name 
are lowercase when spelled out and only uppercase when abbreviated:

volts V
amperes A
watts W
decibels dB

Cheers,

Richard
