there really isn't any "conversion" per se but just saying that the global average temp has risen 1 1/2 degrees above the average "pre-industrial" centigrade temps (which occurred just before the start of the 20th century for the years when they started keeping records in the mid-late 1800s through to that start of the 20th century in 1900).

Global temps ~1850 - 1900 -

13.7°C (56.7°F)

The "1.5C degrees above" would come out to around "2.7F degrees above".
