Just like with elections, there are dozens of ways to distort the results. Here are some. In short, there is no direct way to measure the average temperature of the earth so any figure has come from a calculation based on many temperature readings. That has involved all kinds of interpolation and extrapolation.
The NOAA graph in the above picture shows how much warming "correction" has been applied to data by NOAA. The image on the right shows where most of the thermometers are and where most of the warming occurs. Surprise! Most warming happens where there are the fewest thermometers.
Other charts show that the coolest places are where the forests are. That is, the places with the most CO2 are the coolest? Counter narrative?
One year they discarded thousands of weather stations. If you do that carefully you can engineer any temperature change you want. Some people have noticed that historic temperaures can fall. That is one sure way to ensure a temperature rise in the present. Basiclly, if you can think of a way to distort the numbers then they will have tried it.
Not only that, but even the thermometers used to measure the comparison temperatures may not be in the same locations or use the same technology for measurement. Since the thermometers used over the last 100 years may not have had the same accuracy, precision, or calibration as those used today.
All you need to know is that there are lies, damned lies and statistics!
