There is NO global thermometer. No one is making anything but a wild guess as to any number that is a claimed to be a “global” temperature.
Quite so. The distribution of the temperature has to count for something as well. Otherwise we end up with absurdities like the claim that a guy standing in boiling water with his head encased in ice is, on the average, at a comfortable temperature.
yes! my thoughts as well....how can the earth’s temperature be measured to 1/10th a degree...impossible task
