"Evidence includes increases in global average air and ocean
temperatures,"


Got about as far as that and gave up.


Ain't no such thing as average global average air and ocean
temperatures.


Sure there is.


Prove it.


If you don't think someone can take data sets and provide an "average"
you certainly can't be shown much, Tom.


I'll ask you again - prove it.

Hint 1: infinite variables.

Hint 2: It's 25 degrees in Fairbanks and 25 degrees at McMurdo -
what's the average?

Hint 3: You can only develop an accurate data set by averaging
discrete temperatures every square mile of the Earth. That would be
approximately 197,000,000 data reporting instruments.

Hint 4: Account for data variations due to weather, time (more than 50
years), natural diaster and incidents.

Hint 5: What method of averaging would you use? (Sub Hint: There are
as many variations of averaging as there are number sets.)

Hint 6: What is the average phone number nationally?

Get back to me when you can.
