"Wouldn't be better to plot the highs and the lows of every station and then not measure averages but the movement within those targets? I mean, if station A has a historical high of 46C but also had years that occured where it never got above 20C, seeing a year where the average was 39C might see it above average but nowhere near the hottest on record (Yo, Global Warming. Imma let you finish, but Venus has the best greenhouse of ALL TIME)."
You're thinking like flatearther denier..."Show me the data"...only a denier would demand the data!! You have the consensus! That's enough! Obey!
Unlike the Ozone Layer crisis, which could be measured by taking a UV meter outdoors anywhere on earth and comparing your reading with the one from 1950, the Global Warming Theory is only seen by running meteorological data into a computer that corrects for errors you would make if you did it with books and a roll of butcher paper, for instance, giving each thermometer reading equal weight. You noob; clearly some air temperature is more equal than others.
Anyhow they CAN'T try your stone age antiscience method of comparing station by station. See back when Stalin was trying to kill 3 million invading Germans, he noticed his aircraft kept vanishing behind friendly lines. This was because his pilots had to make journeys over a thousand miles on schedule - or people got shot for inefficiency- but the USSR didn't have enough weather stations to give accurate readings for 1000 miles. So Stalin gave the job of tracking weather in the USSR to the military. Which they did up to 1991. Then 2/3 of their weather stations were closed. So we don't HAVE the same weather station reports from that 1/8th of the earth's surface. Don't worry, the Global Warming Batcomputer can "correct" the averages for this human error.
The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.
