Surface thermometers are not an accurate measure of global warming, because they tend to be close to human habitation, and therefore the *local* environment is getting warmer. Also weather stations keep getting shut down from time to time, and new weather stations pop up from time to time, resulting in the need for guesswork and ad hoc corrections to stitch together results from different weather stations. Also, somehow, not every weather station is included, and warmists have a notorious tendency to somehow leave out weather stations that are getting colder - which is pretty much every unmanned weather station in Antarctica. Also, warmists have a notorious tendency to make ad hoc and unexplained "corrections" to weather stations that give inconvenient results, as for example: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/12/08/the-smoking-gun-at-darwin-zero/ Bottom line: The people whose data you are relying on have been caught lying before. In the case of Antarctica, they are not exactly lying, rather they are cherry picking their weather stations to get the result that they want. But in the case of Australia, we caught them just plain lying barefaced.
