There's currently nothing to stop you adding two Celsius quantities together, even though it probably doesn't make sense. The reason is that a figure quoted "in Celsius", without more context, could mean two different things: either an absolute temperature, or as a difference between two absolute temperatures. The latter should rightly be quoted in Kelvin, and never as an offset quantity. (The same applies to Fahrenheit.)
