Not exactly sure.
I think 0 degrees would equate more to around 110-115, what the US gets but on limited days. The 100 would be more like 10-15 degrees, what some places get on a consistent basis during seasons.

100* can absolutely be life threatening, depending on your access to shade, water, and ideally air conditioning. If you’re trapped out in an open space with no shelter in either 100* or 0* you’re in a dangerous situation.

Being in shade feels 10 to 15 degrees cooler. Easy to get in the shade. 0 degree weather you are screwed. We are talking 32 degrees BELOW the freezing point. Wind of any kind is dangerous wind chill.

I used to build grain bins, and let me tell you inside the bin it is well over 100. You get used to it.

I'll never get used to zero.

0° is a hell of a lot further from 72° than 100°. Considerably more comfortable.
I went with the average global temp of 57. 100 is only 43 degrees away instead of 57 away. 100 or 14? 100 would still be my choice.

But if you went with 72 and said 100 or 44 this poll is much different I think.

Metric system is way better for everything else, but Celsius really sucks.

100 is dangerous hot, 0 is dangerous could, and 100 units in between rather than 30 something.

0 degree Celsius is 32 F. Freezing point. 100 degree Celsius is 212 F. Boiling point.

0 degree Celsius is a heat wave compared to 0 Farenheit
