We can visit a planet three billion miles away on the outermost fringes of our solar system, and land on an asteroid, but we cannot measure the temperature of our own planet. Surely temperature is a mathematical fact, a matter of reading instruments and recording the result?
Not simple, I don’t doubt, but nonetheless a scientific fact, not a matter of opinion or politicised debate?
