Quick question about the amount of time that we have been accurately measuring the data. It seems like we only have had the ability to measure temperature from space in the last 40-50 years.
Is it possible that the sample amount is too small to make any conclusive statements about something as grand as the weather patterns on earth?
It seems like the scientists were asked to gauge the state of a country long interstate highway and decided to look at 100ft of it in downtown Brooklyn.
Im not challenging the data itself, just the amount of it we collect to get a clearer picture of how the earth's climate changes.
