How do you get an average global temperature when there are only eight thermometers in Antarctica?
This is an extremely important video.
When the American Physical Society, of which he was a long-time member, announced that the evidence for global warming was "incontrovertible," Nobel Laureate Ivar Giaever resigned.
"The only answer to that," says Giaever, was that "I resigned."
"Global warming has really become a new religion, because you can't discuss it, " says Giaever "It's like the Catholic Church. There are a lot of incontrovertible truths in the Catholic Church, I'm sure."

Look at where the temperatures are measured, says Giaever. The United States is practically covered. But there are only eight thermometers at the South Pole according to NASA.
"That's all they have!.... Eight thermometers! .... And it has never been as cold at the South Pole as it is now. There's more ice than there
ever has been."
Only eight thermometers in Antarctica, a continent more than twice the size of the entire contiguous United States!
And we're supposed to believe the global warming lies?
Comment: It is too bad that all scientists don't have such common sense.
There's Greenland, the Amazon, the Sahara, East and South Africa, Western Australia and vast tracts of ocean. About the only really practical solution to taking the Earth's Temp is from Space, where the Infrared Signal could be measured. But then you are only getting the unclouded land and upper atmosphere. A truly difficult endeavor, made all the more worse by sticking thermometers in places like Airport Tarmacs, next to air conditioned building exhaust, on metal roofs, etc.
