He’s right of course. The average temperature of the South Pole and Death Valley on July 1 is a meaningless number.

There is no “correct temperature” for the earth because it is always changing.

I’m glad to see “average temperature” beginning to be exposed. I can see no usable definition for it an as already stated in previous replies, it’s a pretty meaningless concept without what methinks would be a complex definition.

We have to be active in pushing back on the childish reporting provided us by journalism majors and always mention the fact that the ONLY way that a “researcher” will get gubmit funding is for them to avoid casting any doubt on existing climate fear porn, poor science, and laughable math analysis.

Not only that....no one...not a single person on earth can tell us what the temperature of the earth SHOULD BE at any point on earth at any point in time.

The whole affair is a farce taking away the rights of the people.

First they came for our lightbulbs...than our plastic bags, then our straws.

There is no average temperature but one can look at a range of temperatures across a timeline. Jan Esper shows recent temperatures easily falls within the range of normal temperatures when viewed across a 2,000 year timeline. Roman and Medieval periods were as warm or warmer than recent temperatures without catastrophic climate changes. Warmer temperatures have been associated with longer growing seasons and increased agricultural production.

This summer, while the climate change fanatics were screeching about the hottest year evuh on earth, there was a snowstorm in Johannesburg, South Africa. First snowfall in more than a decade.

--- "The Earth Has No Average Temperature"

Yes it does, as data collection and statistics would allow such a scientific calculation. All one need do is locate the world's anus and insert a rectal thermometer, and then measure constantly. Wikipedia is of assistance here....

Climate Change = Oceania Newspeak

I like to say ask them “average defined how?”
