Good points. When you consider it, measuring accurate "global temperature" is a far more difficult situation than most people know. Heavens, even measuring the mean temperature of a room over a period of 24 hours is no mean feat; where do the sensors go? Near the window? Opposite the window? Is the wind blowing toward or away from the window? Is it winter or summer?... etc. And how accurate will the results be?
As the gentleman in question said, it's a bit like finding the average telephone number.

I expect that climate science is advanced enough to know what measurements are necessary and how to calculate the global temperature from those measurements. If they are wrong, then there is either something fundamentally wrong with the mathematical model used to make the calculation, or they have not made all the necessary measurements.

There was an interesting article today in The National Post (Canada), written by a physicist, in which, among other things, he asked the question, "How does one measure global temperature?" P.
