Temperature hasn't been rising over the 20th century, it's only an artefact of changing thermometers
It used to be even warmer during the Roman Empire anyway

It's such a dumb argument because while it's true that we have mostly gone over to digital thermometers, for ease of use, the old Mercury thermometers are still available and still work. Manufacturers verify digital thermometers against Mercury thermometers precisely so that a discrepancy like this doesn't happen. Independent verification is very easy, just go on Amazon and order a Mercury thermometer, they're not restricted technology.

@echodot @Amoeba_Girl are you assuming that any of them are arguing in good faith?
