I have discovered the reason for the apparent contradiction between falling temperatures wherever anyone lives and the well-known fact of global warming. It is what I describe as “The Thermometer Effect”.

The Thermometer Effect – the temperature in any location will be between 1-3 degrees lower than it otherwise would have been wherever a thermometer is present. The actual presence of a thermometer will cause the temperature to fall until such measuring devices are removed or stop recording.

Here is the proof. As is universally understood, because of greenhouse gases, temperatures must continuously rise and have been doing so. At the same time, there have been lower than forecast temperatures recorded across much of the world. The only conceivable explanation is due to faults in the measuring devices used.

As one example, we have the data below which are taken from the United States.

NOAA: 2185 cold records broken or tied in past week – 1913 Low Min Records Broken & 272 tied in 7 days. This even includes the following examples of an extreme thermometer effect:

Many records broken by over 30F.

These are clear examples of The Thermometer Effect. Although, on average, temperatures are getting warmer across the globe, such warming does not occur in places a thermometer is found, and therefore the measurement of air temperatures is well below the air temperature wherever temperature readings are not being taken. Had the temperature in those other locations been taken into account, the actual overall rise in temperatures would have been unmistakeable.
