This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

You've converted the absolute value, not the delta.
The quickest in your head conversion of a delta °C --> delta °F is to simply multiply by 2. +4°C --> +8°F
To be accurate, remove 1/10^th^ of the °C value before the multiplication. +4°C --> (4 - 0.4) = 3.6 ---> +7.2 °F
For absolute values, I personally do, for a quick 'in your head' approximation the other way round (°F --> °C) :
Excellent.
Thank you very much! I never could keep this straight in my head.
