"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.

There's your mistake, they're not infinite variables. You make the
data set, therefore it's finite.

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

25 degrees, if they are the same units.

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.

What would make you think that you can only develop an accurate data
set by averaging temps at every square mile? Yes, the more data the
more accuracy, but you can still develop a decent average with less
that 197,000,000 points. Example: Two kids have two cents each. What
is the average? That only used two finite sets.

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

An average is an average.

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

Simple, meaning no moving average, or smoothing techniques.

Hint 6: What is the average phone number nationally?

Not relevant.
