It is not rocket-science to work out whether global mean temperatures are raising. You simply place monitoring stations around the globe, record and then graph the temperatures. Global mean temperatures are raising. This does not require for temperatures everywhere to be raising. You then start criticising measures taken by governments based upon your flawed premises. As Feynman said, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled.... Look at the data and the work done by actual scientists.
