Taking the Global Temperature

Danish professor Bjarne Andresen gives us some food for thought:

"It is impossible to talk about a single temperature for something as complicated as the climate of Earth," said Andresen, an expert on thermodynamics. "A temperature can be defined only for a homogeneous system. Furthermore, the climate is not governed by a single temperature. Rather, differences of temperatures drive the processes and create the storms, sea currents, thunder, etc. which make up the climate".

He says the currently used method of determining the global temperature -- and any conclusion drawn from it -- is more political than scientific.

Taking the global temperature.

It's the differences that drive the process.

Why can't we all get along? Hmm, Al?

I kind of visualize myself as a sea current.
