No it isn't. This stupid blogger made the colossally bad assumption that we measure temps by sticking thermometers into the air.

There are dozens (hundreds?) of ways to measure temps including satellite infrared studies, tree rings from all over the earth for the past 1000 years, ice core samples that measure arcane stuff like pollen levels as a measure or global warmth, ocean sediments, direct measurements of deep ocean temps (which are NOT warming, BTW, which is yet another complication possibly due to el Nina siphoning warmth from the oceans into the atmosphere) and so many more.

All these measurements point to an important concept in science called "convergence" or "converging lines of evidence." These converging, unrelated lines of evidence all point to a single conclusion. A consensus: The globe is getting warmer and human activity is probably the reason.
